I just pulled from Linus's linux-2.6.git tree knowing there was a bit
of activity over the past day:

I got 446 objects and this amounted to just a 4 line change to the
MAINTAINERS file? :-)

If I do a "gitk ORIG_HEAD.." all the changes are there, just the
diffstat it spits out during the pull is weird.

Just FYI...

That is weird, certainly, and does not match what I am getting...

Hmm, I saw this when I did a git diff linus..master on my tree on hera
before I sent the pull request, but when I did git request-pull it 
had All The Right Stuff (tm), so I assumed I just mucked something up
with my command-line options. When I looked at the tree in gitk,
everything looked sane as well.

Hope I didn't break anything...

Cheers,

I got the same problem recently and tracked it down to a stale diff.o
object file inside libgit.a - apparently "ar rcs" does not recreate the
archive from scratch.  After "make clean" the problem has vanished.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
