I think you're on the right track. That got me looking deeper into where the thing is from.

So I searched for the commit by it's title rather than hash and sure enough found a merge:

Code:

~ git log --all --grep="Add test for max replacement limit"

    Add test for max replacement limit

And

Code:

git branch --contains 0e935865b9ee3a79fc63f5766074b6f539a0cf85

says it's in master. So we've found the culprit.

I clearly don't know enough about how a merge actually works. Currently it seems the original commit got a new hash before it got put into the merge.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction HeRetiK.
