Not exactly in git.git, but I'd probably do something like:

  https://github.com/git/git/compare/master...gitster:tb/unexpected

You can get there by going to the "branches" tab in gitster/git, then "tb/unexpected", and then "compare" (either from the branch selection page, or if you've already clicked through from the tree view of that branch).

From _just_ inside git.git it's trickier, since it doesn't have that branch. I don't think there's an easy way to click through to a compare-view there, since arbitrary commits that people are looking at might or might not be useful tips for the compare-view (which is also really the pull request view).

I'd probably just generate this URL myself:

  https://github.com/git/git/compare/master...c49927fca0de4c213ae9b21dcb7eafb80e453d27^2

since it's stable and pretty readable.

Probably more than you wanted to know, but I feel like I ought to be able to drop at least a little GitHub wisdom. ;)
