Is it possible to use TortoiseGit? to perform a "diff" on my active branch and one of my remote branches? For example, can I perform a diff on my active branch "master" and the "origin/master" branch? Ideally, the diff would include the files I've modified but not necessarily committed in my active branch. This type of diff would be very help in previewing the changes that would be introduced in a pull from the remote/origin/master.

I currently do this with git manually using the following command line steps from my active branch directory, but it is very cumbersome. TortoiseGit? would be provide a much more elegant solution:

1. git fetch origin 2. git diff origin/master

I sometimes substitute "difftool" for diff if I want to use a visual merge tool. However, if the diff includes multiple files then git sends the files to the merge tool one at time in a serial fashion. Again, this is very cumbersome and is not nearly as elegant as what TortoiseGit? is capable of. Any chance of this functionality ever making it into a future release?

Yes, it's free software for all uses (check GPL on Wikipedia).
