Subject: Git remote status

Hi!

If I switch branches with "git checkout master" git tells me something 
like "Your branch is ahead of the tracked remote branch 'origin/master' 
by 39 commits".
Is there a "git remote status" or git-status switch to get the same 
information without switching branches?
Sometimes it's valuable whether one should push changes (for example 
before installing a new Ubuntu version ;) ).

Thank you,
