Pull request review helpers

[pavel-sakun]

It would be great to have helpers for:

• assigning pull request to yourself (other user)
• commenting on it
• checking out corresponding branch as local
• merge (comment and merge)
• close (comment and close)

1. Permit the assigning of a user #371 Add support for indicating an assignee on pull requests #393
2. Add 'hub comment' command #324 Add ability to comment on pull request #443 Feature request: Comment on pull requests from my editor #341
3. hub checkout <PR_URL> - it will get improved in the next release
4. hub merge <PR_URL> - although you can't comment
5. We'll think about it.

Thanks, Mislav.

In one of the comments you mention wanting to keep hub as an extension to git, would assigning then be considered out of scope?

[mislav]

Yes, until recently I've defended against adding non-git-related features to hub.

However recently there are plans to move hub towards being sort of an official CLI tool for GitHub API. As such, it would get some features that are not necessarily part of the git flow. #475

@pavel-sakun I'm going to close this since we're already keeping track of these ideas in individual tickets.

Very much looking forward on a more uniform CLI to GitHub ❤️

Sorry, didn't close it, thanks for taking care.
