Why should it eval to 85, how did you arrive at that number? Also, as I pointed out to you on xen-users [thread 0], "HEAD" is a completely meaningless identifier in a global context, it is a repository local concept, so using it as the basis of these sorts of comparisons is useless, please either using a specific public branch or a specific commit sha1 for comparisons. > In a quick browse of the web view of the repo I see the same patch commit > multiple times, under different hashes. Please can you give a specific example of such a commit. Please also remember that backports from master to stable branches will often look like the same commit with a different hash, this is a completely normal thing in git. If the person doing the backport remembered to pass -x to the git cherry-pick command then these will be annotated with "(cherry picked from commit 10a06fd65f667a972848ebbbcac11bdba931b544)" in the commit message, but not everyone remembers to do this.
