So, taking one step back, these numbers come from a comparison of
tex-team and the master branch, and while that sounds sensible, because
it's a comparison of the tips of those branches, I think some of what
you're seeing is breakages that have happened on the master branch but
after the last common commit.

Yeah, as I say above it's possible that this has been broken on master
and not tex-team.

I'll look at getting the comparisons to happen between revisions that
better isolate the changes on the branch, I might just initially ignore
the hard case where the "merge base" in the Git sense isn't know by the
data service.
