Kinda. It's the case where the merge in the middle of the commits caused
the thing to create something completely nonsensical. There is even a
comment which says:

 # FIXME: Merge into Linus head and diff there

I put that in after you explained it to me quite some years ago that in
that case 'git merge-base irq/urgent linus' does not work.

Obviously that lazy sod who put the comment there did never bother to
fix it for real. :)

Thanks,
