Each Github pull request can be fetched locally using
git fetch origin pull/<pr>/head. If we use this instead of fetch the user-defined PR branch in the backport bot, we should be able to re-enable the setting that automatically deletes branches for merged PRs.I did a quick test locally and
git fetch origin pull/<pr>/headseems to work fine even on merged PRs with the deleted user branch.
