Right besides the Patchset there is a commit id you can use, provided
you downloaded the commit. If you don't want to merge you can replace
the pull in the suggested command with fetch.

Look at http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2

To get the diff between patchset three and four do a git fetch 

git fetch git://egit.eclipse.org/egit/parallelip-jgit refs/changes/02/2/3
git fetch git://egit.eclipse.org/egit/parallelip-jgit refs/changes/02/2/4

I.e. the Download command for each alternate patchset, but using 
fetch instead of pull, because I don't want to merge.

Then I can diff the two commit id's using

git diff d14cc645655683ba3e30a35833fb2282142e898f
