I think you lost some lines at the end there.

Read Koen Kooi's second message (21 Jan 01:19). It looks like there
was some issue with a revision coming from another -unknown- branch or
so. And then he took the opportunity to fiddle with the database.
Which part was corruption and what caused what is a bit difficult to
decipher.

I looked around a bit, but couldn't find anything better than this:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-cherry-pick.html
So it looks like your guess is correct.
