What happened here? The previous linux-next tree was much smaller. The
"changes since" part doesn't actually talk about the almost 3000 new
non-merge commits that very suddenly showed up.

I wonder if your automation could add some notes on things like this
when clearly one of the trees changes radically. Back in 20160920,
linux-next looked fairly small compared to previous releases. And then
the next day it suddenly looked quite big.

I get the feeling that several thousand new commits just before the
merge window opens is not a good sign. Of course, I'm planning an rc8
this time around anyway, but even so this is pretty surprising.
