Hmm. I have pulled this, and the resulting shortlog matches what you
say I should have gotten.

But your diffstat is odd and looks very wrong.

Things like this:

>  tools/testing/selftests/bpf/map_tests/lpm_trie_map_basic_ops.c |  395 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

were already in my tree from before, and aren't new (and your shortlog
doesn't mention them).

Also, look at that line. It's long. It's not supposed to be that long.
You've presumably generated this (incorrect) diffstat in a very wide
terminal, and then cut-and-pasted that very wide output into the
email.

Please don't do that. Yes, git will default to wide output if the
output is a wide terminal, but if you either pipe it into something
else (may I suggest "xsel", so that it goes directly into your X
clipboard).

Or use "--stat=80" to limit the width manually to 80 columns.

But the strange formatting is the less worrisome issue. The diffstat
just being plain wrong is the more alarming thing.
