That's backwards. He's in the parent repo and wants to see what the
child did.

The answer is "no, not automatically. Git is fully distributed and
repository X knows nothing about repository Y that was cloned from it".

But also because git is fully distributed, you can simply treat the
cloned child like any other remote:

  git remote add y /path/to/y
  git remote update ;# or just "git fetch y"
  git log y/<branch> ;# what happened in y's <branch>
  gitk y/<branch>...<branch> ;# differences since y forked
