Getting a patch between two tags without downloading the whole repository?

Hello colleagues!
Maybe a noob question...
Need to patch between two tags on a remote repository. I found a thread about this on stakoverflow , but as I understand it, it is about creating a patch in a local repository. I don't want to download the entire repository, because The sorts are voluminous and there are 301 tags (I'm talking about the Linux kernel).
Please provide a link to a simple manual. Or some other solution.
Global problem: there is a kernel version 2.6.32 with additives from the manufacturer of the purchased dev-board (SBC8100 Plus), but you need to upgrade to version 2.6.38 (where ADIS16060 support was added ). Where to download all the patches from 2.6.33 to version 38 did not find.
Thank you!

I think the easiest way is to download two snapshots - 2.6.33 and 2.6.38 and make a diff between them.
www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2
www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.38.tar.bz2
~130MB of sources.

And although, as you this hack:
git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff_plain;hp=60b341b778cc2929df16c0a504c91621b3c6a4ad;h=521cb40b0c44418a4fd36dc633f575813d59a43d
hashes match tags v2.6.33 (hp) and v2.6.38(h)
