"git fetch" prints something like that:

>From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git
   7ff0f55..636c8b2  html       -> origin/html
   b599672..97222d9  maint      -> origin/maint
   59e5778..7e15109  man        -> origin/man
   7e5eb8f..b7e7f6f  master     -> origin/master

So, if you want to see what new was fetched for master, you can run:
  $ gitk 7e5eb8f..b7e7f6f

You can cherry-pick some patches and even modify them if necessary, but
it is not a good workflow. Normally, you should merge branches, then it
will be clear what is merged and what is not, and Git will automatically
merge only changes that were not merged before.
