I lack git-fu pretty completely, but I do have the CVS logs ;-).
It looks like some of these commits that are being ascribed to the
REL8_3_STABLE branch were actually only committed on HEAD. For
instance my commit in contrib/xml2 on 28 Feb 2010 21:31:57 was
only in HEAD. It was back-patched a few hours later (1 Mar 3:41),
and that's also shown here, but the HEAD commit shouldn't be.

I wonder whether the repository is completely OK and the problem
is that this webpage isn't filtering the commits correctly.
