After first doing a "git fetch", to update your local view of those
remote branches:

Commits on your current branch, not in origin:

	git diff origin..HEAD

Commits in the origin branch, not in your current branch (so this is
what you'd probably get if you pulled):

	git diff HEAD..origin

Commits in either one, not in the other (the union of the above two):

	git diff HEAD...origin

The "HEAD" is actually optional in all the above.

And, finally, I think

	gitk HEAD...origin

gives the clearest picture of what's actually going on.
