title: find difference between 2 remote branches
body: <p>How can I find out what are the differences between 2 remote branches?</p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git diff --name-status remotes/branch-V4.4..remotes/branch-V4.2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it gives me a list of files which changes. 
  Is there a way I get a list of commits which shows me the difference between 2 branches?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>Update:</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for the answer. I have tried 'git log --graph remotes/branch-V4.4...remotes/branch-V4.2'</p>
  
  <p>I see </p>
  
  <pre><code>* commit ............
  |
  |
  | 
  * commit .............
  |
  |
  | 
  * commit .............|
  |
  | 
  * commit .............
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why only "|" , a straight line? why it does not show where does the 2 branches begins to diverge?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
