GitLab checks out the specific commit SHA associated with the push. We don't know what state the branch might be in otherwise - someone else can push after you and we don't want to pull those changes in at subsequent stages. You *could* checkout out a specific branch as part of your release, do the commits, and push back to GitLab, but be careful you're not force pushing, because you could blow away changes others have pushed to the branch in the meantime.
