Please don't use release branches for this testing, at all.  You're 
proposing patches for master.  You need to do the testing on master.  
Just ignore release branches completely for this work (unless it turns out 
that a patch in this series introduces a regression that gets into a 
release branch before it's discovered and fixed, in which case release 
branches become relevant for testing cherry-picks of the fix to them, 
after the fix is verified and committed on master).
