you need to do ./g diff ( from the bootstrap module )
that will run the git command ( diff in this case ) on all of the repos

sorry, never used them Kompare ( or the others you mentioned )

that patch format looks good, you did good, next time just remember the 
'./g' from bootstrap, it will save you some steps. Or like someone else 
noted if the patch is pretty big them separating the patch(s) by repo or 
module is an alternative

I think Kohei ( cc'd )  would be really interested in reviewing the 
patch ( is it complete ? )
