Commit 817c27a128e18aed840adc295f988e1656fed7d1 isn't in v3.14:

$ git describe --contains 817c27a128e18aed840adc295f988e1656fed7d1
v3.15-rc1~77^2~40^2~57

$ git tag --contains 817c27a128e18aed840adc295f988e1656fed7d1
v3.15
v3.15-rc1
v3.15-rc2
v3.15-rc3
v3.15-rc4
v3.15-rc5
v3.15-rc6
v3.15-rc7
v3.15-rc8
v3.15.1
v3.15.10
v3.15.2
[snip later tags]

However, the commit date of 817c27a128e18aed840adc295f988e1656fed7d1 is
between the dates of v3.14-rc1 and v3.14-rc2 so the default commit
ordering of `git log` will show it between those two tags.
`--topo-order` may help but I suspect the history is too complex to
infer the relationship between commits without `--graph`.
