This might be a nice update, I'll opt-int for some projects and try it out, but it doesn't address my biggest problem with GitHub: the lack of decent code review tools.

I have to use an external review tool like Reitveld to get side-by-side diffs and better comment and patch-set management.




Check out https://www.tixef.com, it has side-by-side diffs with comments, language aware diffs, cross referenced source code and other goodies.

There is two click quick demo link in the toolbar.


Another great tool (disclaimer: I've contributed a bit) is Phabricator (http://phabricator.com).


Bitbucket does have side-by-side diffs. Simple, but effective.


So far I've been happy with using pull requests for that.


I just can't review without side-by-side diffs. The res of GitHub is so wonderful, I wish they'd add it.
