When there isn't a single well-defined common base for the merge
(which happens when you cross-merge, but also if you have multiple
different bases internally and then merge inside one branch), the "git
diff" output will pick one of the (multiple) common bases, and use
that as the base of the diff.

That usually works fine, but it can also give wildly wrong diffstat
results, simply because the only way to get the final real diff would
be to just do the merge.

No, all good. I've already merged it, I'm just waiting for the build
test to finish before pushing out the end result.

You might want to double-check the end result, but nothing looked
particularly odd.
