So, those 7 commits are really in SVN:
https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/log/tags/2.2.0

But with the last commit, the codebase is exactly the same as it was
at the beginning, as the last commits were reverts after realizing the
mistake.

   git diff --stat svn/tags/2.2.0 svn/tags/2.2.0~7 # empty result.

In the other cases there are indeed some persisting changes but chances
are they really got into the packages. I hadn't checked each in turn to
tell for sure. The full report of changes between shifted tags is here:

John, any chance you have easy tooling to make these checks ?
You can see the changes are really small and mostly on documentation
or build script tweaks.
