Er, how about:

   #!/bin/sh
   # Usage: foo NEW_CHANGE_SET
   # takes patch on stdin
   patch -p1

[In general I think you want to leave the result in a project tree anyway --
it's just easier to deal with generally, e.g., to resolve any conflicts, and
commit; Linus in partcular writes gobs of custom scripts anyway, so the main
thing is that any annoying bits be easy.]
