inconsistent branch coverage summary

The first issue was an accounting bug - fixed in eb5bd65.
(It also turns out that at least one of the lcov regression tests exposed the bug - but was not sensitive to the difference and did not notice. Sigh.)

The second appears to be a misunderstanding or an inconsistency in your environment/configuration.

• the lcov/2.1-1 release is from SHA 6141622, tagged/released on 10 April 2024.
• the exception (and orphan) filters were added in SHA e5e6355 - which was pushed sometime around 24 April.
  The feature is not part of the 2.1-1 release - and I do not think it is mentioned in the man pages of the release.
  I'm not sure which combination of code and doc you have or how you got them, but you may want to start fresh with a clean clone of TOT (or the 2.1 release - whichever you prefer) - to ensure consistency.
• there was a bug in the man page in e5e6355, where I put the filter description in the wrong section and didn't notice until recently. That is also fixed in the above commit.

In any event: please try your testcase again with this update - and close the issue if it appears fixed (or update the description to explain the new problem and how to see it).

Thanks

Henry
