Hello. We have started using Git and Cogito, and are very happy users so 
far. There's one thing that I haven't been able to figure out, however:

Suppose I've done a bunch of commits in my local repository that I have 
not yet pushed to the remote repository. How can I determine what has 
been cg-commit-ed but not yet cg-pushe-ed WITHOUT actually doing the 
cg-push?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming that you work on master and push to origin,

	cg-log -r master..origin

or

	cg-diff -r master..origin

respectively.

Oh, of course - I got it swapped in my head. :-)

It isn't the most intuitive syntax, admittedly, but I couldn't think of
anything better. The way to think about it is "show me the commits
that appeared between origin and master", where

	a - b - c - d - e
	 origin ^
	         master ^

thus it will show the locally committed but not yet pushed d and e. This
maps nicely to the range syntax if you think about it, but it isn't
terribly intuitive. :-(
