Let's assume that the defaults are used. Your branch is named master,
your remote is named origin, and the remote branch is named master also.
$ git push # changes pushed upstream
# edit, test, commit ... # make new commits
$ git log origin/master.. # show new commits since last push

$ git fetch # fetch the changes others have committed
$ git log origin/master.. # still shows new commits on your master since
# last push
'git log origin/master..' is really short for 'git log origin/master..HEAD',
or for this example, in place of 'git log origin/master..master'. It is
showing the commits that exist on master that do not exist in origin/master.
To see what new things have been applied to origin/master that you do not
have in master (i.e. after the 'git fetch'), switch it around:
$ git log master..origin/master
