I think there is some thing wrong in your git setup. May be you did not
checkout the right branch? You can always visit the web link to see
if that match your local "git log".

Have your try to clone a clean repository in a new directory?

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git

That should give you a clean local copy of "chrisl" repository.

There is a better way to deal with remote branch in one git repository.
If you add those to your .git/config:

[remote "chrisl"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/sparse/chrisl/sparse.git
[branch "chrisl"]
        remote = chrisl
        merge = refs/heads/master

You should be able to do:

git fetch chrisl
git checkout chrisl

To get the chrisl branch.
