If you need to find out which of your local commits are not on the remote server do this:
git cherry -v
The -v
option prints out the commit messages. Without it you will see only the SHA1 codes.
You may also compare against another (upstream) branch like that:
git cherry -v origin/somebranch
This tool is especially useful when you have a ton of commits after a merge and want to know the commit differences between branches.
