Can anyone help a git and github newbie like me figure out how to get a diff from the pull request? Just pointing me towards relevant documentation would be fine... I'm just having trouble finding it. I'm using linux.

Code:

git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
cd bitcoin
git remote add sipa git://github.com/sipa/bitcoin
git fetch --all
git diff master..sipa/showwallet

Thanks so much, Pieter!!!!!

So, uhm, I'm not a developer, and I've never used GIT. I'm downloading GIT for windows, msysgit, and I'm going to install it. Will this enable me to somehow get a version of bitcoin running that will let me do dumpwallet, and import wallet?

Krepta3000, before you bother trying to get git to work on windows, you might just make sure you can compile from the source first. I haven't tried to do so for windows for bitcoin before, but based on my experience with other open source projects the tool chain requirements for compiling under windows usually is much harder to satisfy than for Linux. My experience has shown me that using a VM running Linux (using virtualization software like VBox if you don't have a linux box handy) is usually a much easier route.

But... since I don't have experience with bitcoin in this area, I'll defer to anyone else with more direct experience...
