The split up of patches is not quite as perfect as the blog might lead you to believe. It looks like they try to identify individual upstream patches which match code in the RHEL source, and they then create cherry-pick commits for those. eg
https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=redpatch.git;a=commit;h=64f...
Once that's complete, they just create a giant commit lumping together all the remaining pieces they can't match up against upstream.eg "The rest of RHEL 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6 to 2.6.32-279.9.1.el6"
https://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=redpatch.git;a=commit;h=278...
wouldn't be at all surprised if this is just done using a simple automated script.

Wouldn't have Oracle published the script under a free software license if it was the case ? I mean, that's what a company working to advance free software would do, no ?
