Use "git fetch" to fetch the remote changes, but not merge them into
your local tracked branches.  "git pull" basically just does "git fetch"
then "git merge" into your current branch if it is tracking a remote
branch.

You might as well use "git diff" as well, as "git-diff-tree" is
definitely plumbing.

% git fetch origin
...
% git diff origin/master
