Yep, that happens. Not enough to consider writing a replacement for
git-request-pull, but it happens...
For me the problems are usually due to back-merges from Linus's tree
(mostly unintentional, like if arch1 uses rc2 as the base and arch2
uses rc4), so I just do a final merge from Linus's tree and use the
*reverse* of that commit's diffstat (git diff --stat HEAD HEAD^) for
the pull request.
