That is just the HEAD commit on linux-next that day.  If you fetched
linux-next after I released next-20180814 yesterday, then it would have
a different HEAD commit.  If you check out the tag next-20180813, you
will get the above HEAD commit.

Which is just the HEAD commit of next-20180814.

Linux-next is rebuilt every day based on Linus' tree of the day,
followed by merging all the other branches, so its HEAD is different
every day.
