If I knew how to do that, I certainly would :-)

Thanks for the pointer.  Unfortunately, it seems that it really wants to
authenticate using username and password (even though browsing a public

$ hub checkout https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/1785
github.com username: pitrou
github.com password for pitrou (never stored): ^C
