We'll see how it goes, but I think we can find that the branches based
on other branches are cheap to maintain and can generally be treated as
standins for the branch they're based on.  Ie treat a maintained
andy-tracking or balaji-tracking as stable-tracking-with-pending-upstream.

Since we will hopefully eventually have several pending upstream patches
we need a way to deal with it generally, leaving stable-tracking clean
and ready for them coming back upstream is the first plan anyway.

Hum we do have Harald's patchset about that in there, but it seems to be
a point.
