I didn't mean to push the branch, unless it becomes a longer-lived one
which you might want to base work on.

Thinking about it, let's just merge it to maint, so far this really is
purely a bugfix, so branch-1.11 should have it too.

Generally, if there is some nonpublished branch B that you want to base
work on, you can usually take the last merge commit C that says "merge
B" or "merge B to BB" and take C^2 as base:
  git checkout -b B C^2

That'll recreate the information for you locally.  Of course it won't
automatically update your B from origin/B when that is published later,
but a quick edit of .git/config can fix that, too.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
