I found that I run out of memory doing this.
My current approach is to (say)
untar linux 2.2.6 as a clean tree
apply Linus' 2.2.6 -> 2.2.7 patch
find /usr/src/linux -name \*.rej -print # Check for no rejects
rm `/usr/src/linux -name \*.orig -print`
tar up 2.2.7 (ready for the next hike)
apply Russel's patch.
This way I never need to unpatch, and I don't have to apply a string of Linus'
patches all the way from 2.2.2 (or whatever the full version I downloaded was)
