For the purposes of this I’m using https://github.com/defunkt/resque.

 

> git clone git://github.com/defunkt/resque.git

> git remote add plastic git://github.com/plastictrophy/resque.git

> git fetch plastic

> git diff origin/master plastic/master

Comparing branches the same way, just remove the repository reference.  For instance,

git diff master myfeature
