I've yet to actually use it myself, by Konstantin Ryabitsev's b4 tool appears to offer support for comparing revisions of a patch series: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git/tree/b4/co...

Personally, I've recently found myself often wishing that "Link:" tags were more universally used. Commit messages are nice, but it's not at all infrequent that I really want to find the discussion that preceded a patch being accepted. Without a nice lore.kernel.org link right there, finding that is a lot more tedious.

Indeed I was not -- that does looks quite useful! Though after a few minutes of poking at it semi-randomly, its patch-discussion linking seems fairly spotty unfortunately (oddly, often failing even in cases where there is a Link: tag right there in the commit message). Nevertheless, I'll probably be making use of that in the future, thanks for the tip.
