Not really. But you can do a 'git fetch origin', then a
'git log master..origin/master', and it'll tell you what changes will be
merged if you do a 'git merge origin/master'.

NOTES:

1) Replace origin and master with your repomte and branch.

2) If this sounds cryptic for you, then it might be an important info
that by default a pull is a fetch + a merge.
