Somehow I seem to be able to generate perfect copies of patch-3.0.4.bz2
(and earlier), by simply doing a command like:
    git diff v3.0 v3.04 | bzip2 -9 > patch-3.0.4-git.bz2 

But for patch-3.0.5 (and above) trivial commands like
     git diff v3.0 v3.0.8 > patch-3.0.8-git

do not generate perfect copies anymore. Have you perhaps changed the way
you generate the patches since v3.0.5?  Not that this matters much,
since tags v3.0.5 (and up) are signed by your "Linux kernel stable
release signing key", but I still wonder what could cause this
difference. Maybe it's just a git upgrade on your side.
