The backport of c9d9fdbc108af8915d3f497bbdf3898bf8f321b8 to 5.10 in
6976f3cf34a1a8b791c048bbaa411ebfe48666b1 removed more than it should
have leading to 'batch' being used uninitialised.  The 5.13 backport and
the mainline commit did not remove the portion this patch adds back.

This patch has no upstream equivalent, right?

Which is okay -- it explains it in plain english, but it shows that
scripts should not simply search for anything that looks like SHA and
treat it as upsteam commit it.

Sounds like you have a broken script if you do it that way.

good luck!
