To get more information on how a particular branch relates to other branches in your repository and remotes, you can use git wtf which is an add on script by William Morgan: http://git-wt-commit.rubyforge.org/

It produces summary information like:

$ git wtf
Local branch: master
[x] in sync with remote
Remote branch: origin/master (git@gitorious.org:willgit/mainline.git)
[x] in sync with local

Feature branches:
{ } origin/experimental is NOT merged in (1 commit ahead)
    - some tweaks i'm playing around with [80e5da1]
{ } origin/dont-assume-origin is NOT merged in (1 commit ahead)
    - guess primary remote repo from git config instead of assuming "origin" [23c96f1]
