Hello Everyone,

I'm interested in being able to get a message such as 'dev and master have diverged, having 1 and 2 commits different respectively' or 'dev is behind master by 3 commits and can be fast-forwarded', etc. I'm sure this is simple, but I can't figure out how to do it in the docs. Sorry for the noobness of the question.

Thanks!
