yep, the only patch for 2.4.13 is a snapshot.
However, we did thoroughly test the 2.4.14 patch, which started out as a
similar snapshot patch. I don't recall offhand what changes were made
between 2.4.13 and 2.4.14 (other than the underlying kernel) but either
browsing the list or diffing the xfs code in the two kernels would be a
start. There's probably not much difference.
If you need "stable" XFS, you'll either need to stick with one of our
released patches, or test it yourself in your environment...
