Hi,
I'm looking for a way to list all updated files in the remote master branch, similar to svn log.
Is that possible in Git?
Thanks,
Christoffer
EDIT (Solution):
git fetch
git diff --name-status origin/master

A:
Without a checkout, you can do the git fetch and then git diff <theotherbranch>. Without a fetch I can't think of anything but web frontend.

If I would write a script (similar to a web frontend) to perform the operation, how would it work?

Well, you can ssh to the remote machine and do the same `git diff`.

Except for, of course, you would use the commit hash instead of HEAD. where commit hash is your local tip of the remote branch.

git fetch
git diff <branchname> > otherbranch.diff
Or read git diff's stdout directly.

Hmmm... perhaps
git fetch
git log origin/master
is what you want (it doesn't show list of changed files, but list of commits on remote-tracking branch).

With: `git fetch``git diff --name-status origin/master` I got what I wanted :)
