I've been slowly trying to rebuild something that was in use at the
OSDL to test patches. I just proofed something that I think works
with the git repository:

http://207.173.203.223:5000/patch/show/48

If you click on the PASS or FAIL text, it will display the SHA1,
author and commit message that the patch was applied to. Think this
will be useful?
