It's complicated. One approach is to download them all and patch
randomly until it works :)

linux-2.4.0-test1 + patch-2.4.0-test2.gz == linux-2.4.0-test2
linux-2.4.0-test2 + patch-2.4.0-test3.gz == linux-2.4.0-test3
linux-2.4.0-test3 + test4-pre3.gz == linux-2.4.0-test4-pre3

soon, patch-2.4.0-test4 will come out, and so you'll have to go back to
-test3 to apply this.

Alan's patches are off-stream, rooted at some earlier Linus version.
Unless Linus is away somewhere I tend to ignore them - Linus and Alan
eventually get Linus's tree back in sync.
