Well, you need to fetch the repo locally, then you can do:

	git log upstream/master.. # to see new commits added here compared to 
master. Add `-p` to see the code too.

I also added a git alias l = "log --format=\"%ad %an, 
%h:\t^[[34m%s^[[0m\"", so I do `git l upstream/master..` to see a 
convenient shortlog.

Thanks, FTR, I'll report a bug on git-send creating separate threads, 
but a bit later: this evening or tomorrow.
