rc6-git8 Makefile from cg-export and bz2 patch don't agree

I wanted to get a clean 2.6.12-rc6-git8 tree, so I looked up the commit id (3edea4833a1efcd43e1dff082bc8001fdfe74b34) at <http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/>, updated my .git repository with

rsync -a --delete --verbose --stats --progress \
   rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/ \
   .git/
then did 
  cg-export /tmp/xyz <commit-id>

Strangely, the Makefile doesn't match what I would get by applying patch-2.6.13-rc6-git8.bz2. In the exported Makefile,

EXTRAVERSION =-rc6
whereas from the patch, Makefile (line 151 of the diff) has 
EXTRAVERSION = -rc6-git8

Was this a case of hand-editing the diff or did I not use the cg/git commands correctly?
