Thanks for your encouraging reply, Zack! Could CTEST_CHANGE_ID be 
'overloaded' for this purpose? If CTEST_CHANGE_ID is a decimal number, 
it should still be interpreted as a pull request number.  Otherwise, if 
it looks like "SHA:904ee80144c5341ecb3a9285ea6a75bbef447bcd" (for 
example), it must be the SHA of a commit. So in general, if 
CTEST_CHANGE_ID starts with the prefix "SHA:", add a CDash link to the 
commit at the GitHub page. Would that be a proper interface to you?

Kind regards, Niels
