Do you not use

	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/testing/cset/

?

It always has the latest diff against the last-released kernel.

I snarf it hourly, so I have decent granularity for doing the
binary-search-to-see-where-it-broke trick.

#!/bin/sh

URL=ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/testing/cset/

cd /opt/downloads/bk
rm -f index.html
wget --quiet $URL/index.html
VERSION=$(grep 'patches since' index.html | \
		head -1 | \
		sed -e 's/.*since \([^:]*\).*/\1/')
mkdir -p $VERSION
cd $VERSION
wget --quiet --timestamping --recursive $URL 2>&1
