Subject: [PATCH] Add temp remote and fetch temp from release folder in release
 script (#10699)

I don't understand why this wasn't already in the release script, and
can see no reason to not add it. This doesn't do anything publicly or
permanently, it just fetches the branch from the release folder. If we
need to add the previous temp, it's right there in a `releases.*.bak`
folder.

This is step 8 of the release process, and should be deleted when this
is merged.

I did test this and it worked.
