It's rare, for but future reference, what you can do is to just do a 
merge in a temporary branch, and get it that way.

'git shortlog' should have worked, though. It's only the 'diff' that is 
based on the direct difference between two end-points, rather than based 
on working with intersections of sets of commits.

Maybe the scripts use 'origin...master' or something for the shortlog, and 
then the merge-base thing will confuse it? Haven't looked.

It got a conflict with the AGP merge, but I fixed it up in what _seemed_ 
to be the obvious manner. But somebody should check out the resulting
drivers/char/agp/uninorth-agp.c file.
