* docs: Add a document on how to fix a messy diffstatJonathan Corbet2022-03-301-0/+96
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.
