I'm unable to find a branch matching the line numbers.

Given that, on the face of it, the scenario is impossible I'm
seeking clarification on what linux-next to look at for the
sake of accuracy.

So I'm wondering if this testing done using the master branch
or one of the daily branches one would use to check for conflicts
before posting?

Or perhaps the master branch has been updated and the testing was
done on something different.
