Actually the easiest and AFAICT most unintrusive way to get this branch
is:

	~/linux-2.6$ git fetch git://github.com/napohybelskurwysynom2010/Linux-2.6-nps.git rodc1
	....

	~/linux-2.6$ gitk origin/master..FETCH_HEAD

This doesn't even create a branch and the objects are subject to garbage
collection after the next fetch (i.e. when they aren't referenced by
FETCH_HEAD anymore).

And (as a small side note) you can combine git remote add + git fetch by
passing -f to git remote add.

</gitlesson>

Best regards
Uwe
