How do I retrieve a patch using the '' Accept header?

Hi,

Thanks for this api, very useful!

I'm trying to use it to get a patch, as is possible via the API with curl:

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.patch" -s https://api.github.com/repos/peter-murach/github/commits/ab788b9d4b5435c50c8e7e698f77265b1ff6170c

which outputs the patch:

From ab788b9d4b5435c50c8e7e698f77265b1ff6170c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Piotr Murach <[email protected]>
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2015 21:16:47 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] Document changes.

etc...

Here's what I'm trying via the API, but I don't know how to actually retrieve the patch string like was output from curl using the API:

commits = Github::Client::GitData::Commits.new
commits.find('peter-murach', 'github', 'ab788b9d4b5435c50c8e7e698f77265b1ff6170c', accept: 'application/vnd.github.v3.patch')

FYI, my ultimate goal is to get the Patch ID, using this:

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.patch" -s https://api.github.com/repos/peter-murach/github/commits/ab788b9d4b5435c50c8e7e698f77265b1ff6170c | git patch-id --stable

Thanks,

Also, even with the example of request headers in the docs, I don't see how it is working. E.g., the two following examples seem to return identical results. What's "raw" about the first one's response?

issues = Github::Client::Issues.new
issues.get 'peter-murach', 'github', 108, accept: 'application/vnd.github.raw'

issues = Github::Client::Issues.new
issues.get 'peter-murach', 'github', 108
