# Assume 2 branches named 'current' and 'master'

# Show me the commits I have in current, which are not in master
git log current..master --pretty=oneline


# Show me commits in master which are not in my current branch
git log master..current --pretty=oneline

# Show me stuff that people have pushed to 'master' which I don't have yet (we'll call it 'origin' in this case),
# even though I have made commits locally on that branch (maybe you want to rebase to prevent unnecessary
# merge commit)
git fetch origin  # retrieve current state of origin
git log origin/master..master --pretty=oneline
