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.

Ahh. Please change that to

	rm -rf tmp-empty-tree
	mkdir tmp-empty-tree
	cd tmp-empty-tree
	git-init-db

because otherwise you'll almost certainly hit something else later on..

Hm, yes.

+ rm -rf tmp-empty-tree
+ mkdir tmp-empty-tree
+ cd tmp-empty-tree
+ git-init-db
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/branches/: Permission denied
+ unset GIT_DIR
+ git-read-tree f505380ba7b98ec97bf25300c2a58aeae903530b
