      Repos on Github allow you to configure your local repo to fetch pull requests, as seen here: https://gist.github.com/piscisaureus/3342247

      Here's what that gist lets you do:

      $ git fetch origin
From github.com:some/project
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1000/head -> origin/pr/1000
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1002/head -> origin/pr/1002
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1004/head -> origin/pr/1004
 * [new ref]         refs/pull/1009/head -> origin/pr/1009
...

      To check out a particular pull request:

      $ git checkout pr/999
Branch pr/999 set up to track remote branch pr/999 from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'pr/999'

      Could Stash be set up to achieve a similar result? Right now I'm doing lots of copy/pasting of branch names when I want to do a git checkout on someone's pull request.

      Thanks!

      -John
