You can generally patch against a version more recent than when the
patch was released, up to a point. If there are commits to any of the
files touched by the patch after the patch date, then the patch may not
apply properly, or the result may not work correctly.
However, in this case Martin generally produces an updated patch-set
within a fairly short amount of time.
To obtain a copy of the stable sources as of a specific date, depends on
how you're getting the sources.
csup(1) or cvsup(1) has a date parameter which you can add to your
sup-file. See csup(1).
svn has a number of options for checking out previous revisions.
Either work out the revision corresponding to the date you want, or
give the date like so:
svn co -r '{ 2010-01-14 }'
Cheers,
Matthew
