If you have vanilla and tuxonice branches,

git diff $(git merge-base vanilla tuxonice)..tuxonice

should always give you a diff of just stuff introduced on the tuxonice
branch.

"git remote add" is the thing to look for. You can have as many remote
repositories associated with a local repository as you like (they don't
even have to have anything in common, though this is considered somewhat
strange: normally the remote repositories you add to a given local
repository are somehow related to each other, so they can share objects
and they have a meaningful merge base and stuff like that).
