Schedule without specifying Date string

[obfuscurity]

It's unclear to me whether this action supports a /schedule without the Date string specified as per the README. For example, if I want to auto-merge a PR every Wednesday 9am ET, I'd prefer to just set the cron accordingly:

  schedule:
    - cron: 0 13 * * 3

Will this work as intended, or do I still need to specify the upcoming date each time?

Right now setting a date string is required, it was the original use case. However I can see how it could be useful to set /schedule without a date string, meaning that it will be merged the next time the merge action is scheduled via the cron expressions.

If we supported this, we would also need to update the check run title we create here:

merge-schedule-action/lib/handle_pull_request.js

Lines 69 to 81 in 1d78963

	const { data } = await octokit.checks.create({
	owner: eventPayload.repository.owner.login,
	repo: eventPayload.repository.name,
	name: "Merge Schedule",
	head_sha: eventPayload.pull_request.head.sha,
	status: "in_progress",
	output: {
	title: `Scheduled to be merged on ${datestring}`,
	summary: "TO BE DONE: add useful summary",
	},
	});
	core.info(`Check run created: ${data.html_url}`);
	}

Pull request welcome!
