Question A nice and simple question - is the function of "git fetch" a strict sub-set of git fetch --tags?

Thus, I'd like to see all commits made to my current branch which have not been applied to any other branch [or, if this is not possible without some scripting, how does one see all commits in one branch which have not been applied to another given branch?…
