Stable kernel 3.0.7
I've had some boot problems with this kernel, and I can't seem to narrow the issue down, but I think it's due to something not related to the kernel itself, but am not positive. Please test to verify that I didn't mess something up."
Update: Greg reports that the kernel does
not seem to be related to his boot problem. "Ok, this was a
userspace problem on my machines, not a kernel issue, I've resolved it
(hint, don't have an old udev with a new libudev package on the same
system), and this kernel works fine for me now.

Which means to get 3.0.7 you type:

the initial clone is relativly slow, but in the future you can go to that directory and just do 'git pull' to pull down all changes since the last time you did so (followed by 'git checkout <version> to get the version you are interested in at the moment)

If the archive is busted, it should be taken down. If it isn't busted, then just put the diffs there. This limbo-land is inexplicable.

If you read the information posted to lkml about the rebuild of kernel.org, you will see that we have a new tool, and process, to do this.
It takes time to implement all of this, sorry.

You can do it this way, yes. Better yet, just take an existing clone you have laying around, and suck in the 3.0.y branch only. Very small bandwidth, and all should be good.
If you know of a different way to get the 3.0.7 release at the moment, please let us know (besides emailing me directly and asking for the patch, which I've already done for a few people who asked very nicely.)

Did I get the gitweb command URL wrong, or something please?

wget "https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-s..."
Or to go from v3.1-rc4 to v3.1-rc10 with:
wget "https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux..."
(In that case, Documentation/networking/scaling.txt throws up a reject when you apply the patch, which you have to fix by hand, because the git patch generator did not seem to deal correctly with non-ASCII quote/unquote characters in that file.)
You can use the torvalds branch to go from 3.0 to 3.1-rc10, although that's a big one, or between any other tagged versions. You can also use curl rather than wget, or a browser.

I guess using the --depth option could save some bandwidth. If you do it right after the announcememt --depth 1 should be enough, if newer commits exist getting the right depth might be trickier. But even if you are extra cautious a select a depth of several hundreds, the saving should still be significant.
Disclaimer: Untested guessing. On holidays with my phone only. Although it runs Linux I must admit I have not installed git.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commitdiff;h=v3.0.7;hp=v3.0.6
But the resulting diff failed to apply:
patching file drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/atombios_dp.c
Am I just revealing my miserable lack of "git-fu" here, or is there a deeper problem?

Click on the "tree" link and then click on the "snapshot" link.
It will return a nice tar.gz snapshot of the tree, without the need to use git.

I don't have a git tree, but I did originally try extracting the incremental patch using gitweb. I thought that might work (in a bandwidth-friendly sort of way), although in practice the results were slightly less than spectacular...
