How do I download a specific git commit from a repository?

Question

I don\'t have a local code copy/etc, I just want to download a single specific git commit so I can view it. I have the url for the git repository:

git://git.kernel.o

I ran in to this problem today, and have found a way to download archives for a specific commit. If you go to a repository on git.kernel.org there is a clone section on the bottom. The bottom url is a google git mirror. You will be able do download archives for specific commits from here.
