So, you are not going to receive emails from github? Github emails contains
links to the generated diffs as well, they are kept in sync with the pull
request.
Bitbucket also has this functionality (example:
curl -L
https://bitbucket.org/api/2.0/repositories/vimcommunity/vim-pi/pullrequests/15/patch
), but it does not bother sending links to the generated patches.
