git is shit (tm)

The git commit list will look reasonable, but the diff will make a
complete mess out of non-linear history. I think it's this case here too.

I think the way to fix it is to do a manual test merge and then to a diff
against the first parent (assuming you did the test merge forward, not
backwards). Without the test merge git tries to do some kind of multi-way
diffstat.
