When switching from one tree to another I reverse the patches back to the fork point (using patch -R) and then apply the appropriate patches for the tree I want. That's the method I've used for a long time for keeping up with both Linus' -preX kernels and Alan's -acX kernels with only a single source tree. (After 2.5 has been out for awhile I'll just drop 2.4 altogether and then it won't be an issue.)
