what do you mean? the diff?
git show uses diff --cc so that only changes which are not in
the parent trees are shown.
gitweb just diffs against the first parent, and this diff is
large in your example because a new upstream Linux kernel
got merged into a topic branch.  But it should still be correct.

But perhaps gitweb should use --cc, too.
