Well, that one actually makes sense. It's just the stat from the previous 
state, after all, and it actually is done _together_ with the operation 
that causes the diffs.

So that one I don't think you can really even claim.

Also, it's not even the "first parent". Look closer. It's literally 
"previous state", because it does so for a fast-forward too. It's from 
ORIG_HEAD.
