    Problem: When linking to the raw version of a gist, the link changes with each revision.
Solution:
To return the first file from a gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/

Example: https://gist.github.com/atenni/5604522/raw/
Works even when you change the filename.

To get a file from multi–file gist: https://gist.github.com/[gist_user]/[gist_id]/raw/[file_name]

Example: https://gist.github.com/atenni/5604522/raw/README.md
