I'd love to see a "grouped" pull request option. Something that would let me say show me changes from repo1 + repo2 because they depend on each other. Think refactoring code into a smaller repo, etc. I deal with this quite a bit with clients as they grow from small apps into much more complex apps with lots of inner dependencies and tests.

We (my company) actually take this to another level. We provide branch level grouping.

The reason why we've created this feature was because in the enterprise world, it is not uncommon to construct a release based on branches from various repositories.

We also have a smart attributes technology that will allow you to assign arbitrary meta data to a pull request. With this technology, you'll be able to ask questions like show me all the pull requests that have a priority greater than X.
