Subject: I want to omit the commit log message from the log output
Message-ID: <18995.1288205882@relay.known.net>

I'm trying to simulate the output that comes at the end of the merge:

$ git merge origin/master
Updating f682676..b37ad77
Fast-forward
 MODULES                           |    3 +-

 status.sh                         |   14 +-
 whatsnew.sh                       |   15 +
 12 files changed, 636 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-)
 create mode 100755 bin/git-what-branch
 create mode 100644 bin/git-what-branch.readme
 create mode 100755 whatsnew.sh
$ 

That is, I want to run a command that will show me the above output
without doing the merge.  This is close, but not quite:

$ git log --summary --stat origin/master ^HEAD


Are there arguments to git log that can do what I want?

Thanks.
