What is the git equivalent of of "hg outgoing" or "hg incoming"?

In Mercurial, hg outgoing lists the changesets that are newer than what's on the server and will be sent if I were to do hg push. Same in reverse for hg incoming and hg pull.

Solution

If you want to list commits that are on branch B but not on branch A, do git log A..B.

If you want to list commits that are on your local branch dev, but not the the remote branch origin/dev, do:

git fetch origin             # Update origin/dev if needed
git log origin/dev..dev

If you want to list commits that are on the remote branch, but not on the local branch, simply do the converse:

git fetch origin             # Update origin/dev if needed
git log dev..origin/dev

Note: you might find it easier to compare branches graphically using gitk origin origin/dev
