How do I checkout the branch of a contributor? Do I need to fork his fork?

+ [2014-09-26T00:29:11Z] daMaestro Evening. I'm trying to create a PR of commits that have already been committed into master. I'm curious how I can achieve this. I've created a branch from the tag I would like to compare from, but I'm unable to create a PR because the commits in question have already been merged into master.
+ [2014-09-26T00:32:21Z] daMaestro A `git diff master..branch_name` shows the changes, but I can't use a PR at this time.
