Intriguing, I get a bunch of different numbers:

opus:/home/geofft/linux-2.6 geofft$ git log v2.6.36..v2.6.37-rc7 | grep Reviewed-by | wc -l
686
opus:/home/geofft/linux-2.6 geofft$ git log --first-parent v2.6.36..v2.6.37-rc7 | grep Reviewed-by | wc -l
17

Just because I'm OCD it, try grep -c instead of grep ... | wc -l
