These branches are local to your repository. They are "remote" in the
sense you're not supposed to modify them directly.
So to inspect such a branch just use its full name ("origin/next" for
instance) when working with commands like git-log.
See [1], [2] for more info.
Also your question appears to be quite basic which hints at that you did
not read a good book on Git before using it. So starting at [3] is
recommended -- it mentions a bunch of good books and manuals (some of
which are available freely).
