It'd be handy if Hub would wrap commands such as cherry-pick and diff so that, when they referred to a commit hash that wasn't found in the repo or in any remote, all public Github repos were searched for the hash and it was fetched from the first one that matched. Then one wouldn't have to copy and paste both a repo URL and a hash, or add a remote that was only being used once. Isn't the theory behind using commit hashes that they are globally unique?
Maybe this could also work with private repos for logged-in users; that would be handy for large teams.
