Jonathan Corbet 022bb490c7 docs: Add a document on how to fix a messy diffstat
A branch with merges in will sometimes create a diffstat containing a lot
of unrelated work at "git request-pull" time.  Create a document based on
Linus's advice (found in the links below) and add it to the maintainer
manual in the hope of saving some wear on Linus's keyboard going forward.
