Rather than handing out patches to those who email you, and on the basis that if you give a man a fishing rod, you will feed him for life, you can get the kernel.org gitweb interface to do it. As someone else has said, you can get a patch to go from v3.0.4 to to 3.0.7 with:

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 really appreciate this - thank you! It's precisely what I was looking for and having no luck finding (there's definitely a mystery cult feel to git/kernel usage; despite owning the Loeliger book)
