Link looks broken/incorrect, which wouldn't help. You can get a patch
for any commit by appending ".patch" to the commit URL, for example:

  https://github.com/falkevik/otp/commit/d0775cd6bc64f5eec41d04e04441fe6a6e058927.patch

Similarly for diffs:

  https://github.com/falkevik/otp/commit/d0775cd6bc64f5eec41d04e04441fe6a6e058927.diff

Both also work with the compare views.
