Eclipse: any way to checkout a PR for review?

[Kevin Rushforth]

I do something like this:

git fetch upstream pull/569/head:pr_569

Then you can checkout the "pr_569" branch. I typically will then merge 
in the current upstream/master to test. If you don't have an "upstream" 
remote you can instead:

git fetch https://github.com/openjdk/jfx pull/569/head:pr_569
