This is an awfully strange thing to do.  git checkout -b creates a new
branch.  Why would you create a new branch with the name
remotes/origin/EDBAS9_4_STABLE?  I would just do "git checkout
REL9_4_STABLE" if that's what you want to do.

Well, the stuff we back-patch is going to conflict if it's been
adjusted at all.  I think trying to do this is a bad idea.
