Its a bug.

I'm not a gitweb user (meaning I almost never look at something
in gitweb).  But I'm clearly also not a Git newbie.  ;-)

I could not fathom why that merge commit was being displayed that
way in gitweb.  I had to clone the cairo project just so I could
actually look at the commit with log/show/whatchanged/diff-tree,
because I couldn't believe what I was seeing from gitweb.
