Shaan,
* the sources are different, and this is not unusual, and not a problem worth reporting unless an explanation cannot be found,
* the commits in salsa explain the reason for every difference.
Now that you have detected a difference, please make sure you read the commits, in all aspects;
* the commit message,
* the commit diff,
* the context or ordering in which the diff occurs.
The diff format must be learned to the point you can be comfortable to make a change by hand. Not that you have to; tools like patch(1) can do it for you, but sometimes a diff is malformed when it is sent by other means than git.
