extraneous commits can add a lot of noise.
In order to do this, you'll need to have a git remote that points at the main
Rails repository. This is useful anyway, but just in case you don't have it set
up, make sure that you do this first:

then change the name to your own in the instructions below.
Given that your remote branch is called `my_pull_request`, then you can do the
following:
```bash
$ git fetch upstream
$ git checkout my_pull_request
$ git rebase -i upstream/master
$ git fetch rails
$ git checkout my_new_branch

If you want to add a fix to older versions of Ruby on Rails, you'll need to set up and switch to your own local tracking branch. Here is an example to switch to the 4-0-stable branch:
```bash
$ git branch --track 4-0-stable origin/4-0-stable
$ git branch --track 4-0-stable rails/4-0-stable
$ git checkout 4-0-stable
