Yes, because this merge brings also rc3-rc4 bump:

$ git merge-base origin/master reg/for-6.19
6146a0f1dfae5d37442a9ddcba012add260bceb0

$ git describe 6146a0f1dfae5d37442a9ddcba012add260bceb0
v6.18-rc4

$ git merge-base origin/master reg/for-6.19^
dcb6fa37fd7bc9c3d2b066329b0d27dedf8becaa

$ git describe dcb6fa37fd7bc9c3d2b066329b0d27dedf8becaa
v6.18-rc3

Now I see the source of those 3kLoCs in the merge commit on GitWeb.

$ git diff --stat v6.18-rc3..v6.18-rc4
