Best way to review pull requests

So, as far as I can tell from my researching over the past few days, the only real way to get a pull request to review it is to:

* Manually add the submitter's dw-* repo as a remote in the repo on your hack (or Github I suppose, but there is no GUI advantage here).
* Manually pull the branch in question

Is there a better way to do this? Am I missing something? This seems really, well, annoying, with manually crafting URLs and whatnot, and not very user friendly. (I'm trying to make some documents on reviewing pull requests for people who are not [personal profile] fu, since we need to try and spread out that work a little.)

I use the method that Mark linked to. After which, it's:

git checkout pr/123

And then testing.

One interesting thing I've seen recently is the hub command, but I haven't played with it enough to integrate it into my workflow.
