A Tiny Mistake in the Opening Database on chess.com

Ne2 and Nge2 are the same move in the position below, but the database has both for no good reason. Also, since Nce2 is not possible anyway, doesn't it make more sense to use just Ne2?

To populate the database they probably just parse valid PGN notation and store the results, since there's no consistency in how people are notating this position the database has this issue. Could be fixed by adding some logic for normalizing the input, but it's a pretty rare edge case.
