Hm. git-diff-cache now refuses to operate unless there's a local '.git/refs' directory, even when working with a separate object directory. So this doesn't work any more...

	rm -rf tmp-empty-tree
	mkdir -p tmp-empty-tree/.git
	cd tmp-empty-tree

	git-read-tree $CURCOMM
	git-checkout-cache Makefile
	perl -pi -e "s/EXTRAVERSION =.*/EXTRAVERSION = $EXTRAVERSION/" Makefile
	git-diff-cache -m -p $RELTREE | gzip -9 > $STAGE/patch-$CURNAME.gz

I've changed the script to create 'tmp-empty-tree/.git/refs' and replaced 2.6.13-git[12] with real patches.
