Fetch deeper the tested branch before fetching master

The tested branch is clone with a deep of 20 so if it has more than 20
commits, we need to deepen its hitory to be able to find the merge-base
with origin/master.

Also, detect prefixed EE branch as well, i.e. `ee-<branch>`.

+        EE/master, and no `#{ee_branch_prefix}` or `#{ee_branch_suffix}` branch

-        Please create a #{ee_branch} branch that includes changes from

-        #{ce_branch} but also specific changes than can be applied cleanly
+
-        to EE/master.
+        We advise you to create a `#{ee_branch_prefix}` or `#{ee_branch_suffix}`
+        branch that includes changes from #{ce_branch} but also specific changes
+        than can be applied cleanly to EE/master. In some cases, the conflicts
+        are trivial and you can ignore the warning from this job. As always,
+        use your best judgment!
 
         There are different ways to create such branch:
 
-        1. Create a new branch based on the CE branch and rebase it on top of EE/master
+        1. Create a new branch from master and cherry-pick your CE commits
-
-          # In the EE repo
-          $ git fetch #{ce_repo} #{ce_branch}
-          $ git checkout -b #{ee_branch} FETCH_HEAD
-
-          # You can squash the #{ce_branch} commits into a single "Port of #{ce_branch} to EE" commit
-          # before rebasing to limit the conflicts-resolving steps during the rebase
-          $ git fetch origin
-          $ git rebase origin/master
-
-          At this point you will likely have conflicts.
-          Solve them, and continue/finish the rebase.
-
-          You can squash the #{ce_branch} commits into a single "Port of #{ce_branch} to EE".
-
-        2. Create a new branch from master and cherry-pick your CE commits
 
           # In the EE repo
           $ git fetch origin
-          $ git checkout -b #{ee_branch} origin/master
+          $ git checkout -b #{ee_branch_prefix} origin/master
           $ git fetch #{ce_repo} #{ce_branch}
           $ git cherry-pick SHA # Repeat for all the commits you want to pick
 
           You can squash the #{ce_branch} commits into a single "Port of #{ce_branch} to EE" commit.
 
-        Don't forget to push your branch to #{EE_REPO}:
+        2. Apply your branch's patch to EE
+
+          # In the CE repo
+          $ git fetch origin master
+          $ git format-patch origin/master --stdout > #{ce_branch}.patch
 
           # In the EE repo
-          $ git push origin #{ee_branch}
+          $ git fetch origin master
