You should have also something like below:
* refs/remotes/origin/master: fast forward to branch 'master' of git://source/project
  old..new: 1732a1f..73a2acc

> So, I'd like to see the files, perhaps the differences, etc.

 $ git diff --summary 1732a1f..73a2acc
 $ git diff --summary ORIG_HEAD..HEAD

Or, if you want to see the log instead:

 $ git log 1732a1f..73a2acc
 $ git log origin/master

By the way, you get summary automatically when doing pull, on merge
(but not on fast-forward, I think).
