It doesn't help me.  I can't decode the commits into changes:

McStalker.oscogvm$ git ls-remote origin
3e19ff3d1924550911e5fc15bbbf5eb05f39320c        HEAD
3e19ff3d1924550911e5fc15bbbf5eb05f39320c        refs/heads/Cog

d6d4215efc98645136ed420a69ceaf6f5f454b6c        refs/pull/8/merge

What makes sense to me is a list of changed files, and a further option to
do a diff.  So I guess the fetch, diff approach is what I'll have to get
used to.  What's the diff command to compare the current state of files
(including unstaged modifications) against the last fetch?


And thanks for holding my hand here; I really appreciate everyone's
patience and help.  I know I look really clumsy right now.  Hopefully the
murk will clear and I'll learn before doing too much damage.
