If the PR is later integrated, the PR bot scans for backport labels, creates the backport branch and provides a link for creating the backport. To cancel the backport, the user can use `/backport disable repo master` to remove the label before the PR is integrated.
>> 2.  If the `/backport` command is used in an **integrated** PR, it creates the backport branch and comments on the PR. This process is similar to using the /backport command in commits. (This feature was implemented in [SKARA-1495](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/SKARA-1495) by guoxiong li, but the usage was not documented on the[ wiki page](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/SKARA/Pull+Request+Commands), so seems like few people use this command)
>> 3.  If the `/backport` command is used in a **closed** (not integrated) PR, the user will receive an error message stating that the command cannot be used in a closed but not integrated PR.
