Git web is showing the "master" tag four commits back from HEAD on the summary page for Linus' kernel tree, which is unusual (isn't it?).

I don't think that it is a mirror problem (it's been like it at least an hour, and shows the same at both www1 & www2.kernel.org)

Seems to be some gitweb caching problem.

It's not a mirroring issue, because if you actually look at the "heads" down at the same page, the "master" head points to the right commit (the top one). As you can see just from the time ("17 hours ago" right now), but also if you just go to the log through there.

I suspect it is related to this:
