Thank you, Josh! I can see that for more recent kernels there is a per-build granularity of commits. Going back a couple of years, there don't appear to be individual commits between releases 408 and 448, such that the diff at https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-8/-/commit/... contains several million lines. Do you know if there is an archive available with more granular diffs for the builds in between 408 and 448, or a way to re-derive some of them?
The repo you linked to was created by a tool called packit. I don't believe it was actually used by the kernel team or for any official builds. The dist-git style repo I included in my original reply is what kernel RPMs are built from.
The RHEL kernels (and therefore CentOS Stream) moved away from discrete commits/patches long ago, so you would need to download the SRPMs for all the builds between 408 and 448 and extrapolate the changes along the way via diffs.
