Yes, this is the present situation.

When I posted the changeset it merely existed in its own right, without 
being publicly available on any of the official Isabelle repository 
clones.  It did identify itself as db3d3d99c69d and its parent as 
75623b4d6251, though, and the parent was already public and merged on the 
post-release repository.

Later I pushed the changeset on 
https://bitbucket.org/isabelle_project/isabelle-release such that its 
history monotonically grew to include it.  This is a non-destructive gain 
of information. Much later, the isabelle-release needs to come back on the 
isabelle development repository in another monotonic operation, to 
re-unify our grand history.

This is just very basic shuffling of temporarily diverging repository 
clones.  I am glad that we don't do this very often, and that we don't 
make it an art in its own right, because it requires additional efforts to 
manage such a "multiverse" of history.
