How can I fetch an unmerged pull request for a branch I don't own?

Question

I need to pull in a specific pull request (that hasn\'t been processed into the main stream yet) in the NServiceBus repo:

To fetch a pull into your repository:

git fetch git@github.com:jboss/jboss-common-beans.git refs/pull/4/head

Then do whatever you want with FETCH_HEAD:

git checkout -b new-branch FETCH_HEAD
