Ok, this is weird.

I went looking first in the git repository created
with git version 2.11.0 running the mirroring script's init and in
that repository the 2.2.0 tag does *not* have those commits.

Instead on the git repository used for the mirror sync there are those
extra 7 commits. There I have git version 2.1.4.

Now I'm curious to know if those 7 commits are also really in SVN
and what others do get by running the init scripts.
