Git archive all changes except first commit

I have a third party product I need to make changes to. I've committed all of the stock code as my first commit. Now I've committed several times and made many changes.

How can I export an archive of just the changes? I want all adds/changes since the first commit but nothing in the first commit if it hasn't been modified. There will have been no deletes to files that occurred in the first commit.

I would suggest the patch format, with a git format-patch

git format-patch --stdout firstCommitSHA1.. > aPatch

With firstCommitSHA1 being your first commit: it will select everything after that first commit up to your current HEAD, and generate patches easily applied to another repo through git am.
