Does this effectively say "if git push succeeds and PR creation fails, ignore the failure"?

Yes, since it means there is already a PR and the force push has updated the branch for the existing PR, so all should be good.

Approve pending consideration of question. Would also be good to get someone(s?) on @sul-dlss/access-team to take a look.

Sometimes we don't get update-dependency PRs when branches already exist. While the
-Bon the checkout gets a fresh branch locally, the push will fail if the branch already exists upstream.This force-pushes the branch (updating any existing PR automatically) and creates a new PR only if one doesn't exist, silently captures any error and continuing if one does.
If this is only a minor change to the scripts, please 🔪 kill the Jenkins build. 🔪
