.. and that is a fairly silly misfeature, since it makes the "since
commit xyz" largely meaningless.

I suspect we really should make "git request-pull" show the merge
base(s) as the "since commit", because that way the output of git
request-pull is "stable", and doesn't depend on what particular random
state you've synced up to since.

Junio, I think the patch would be as simple as the attached - totally
untested - one-liner? Comments?
