First of all, if you are in CVS mindset, you may not want to necessarily
do "git pull", but "git fetch" followed by "git rebase".

I suspect the last one in the above sequence of yours is "git stash pop".
Definitely not "git apply" without any argument which is a no-op.

"git diff [--options] origin..." (three-dots) is often used.  This is a
shorthand for:

	git diff [--options] $(git merge-base origin HEAD) HEAD

that is, "show me what I did since I forked from origin".

>> : git-show-branch <current branch> - un-pushed comments

This would be useful if you are using "fetch + rebase", but in any case

	git log --graph --pretty=oneline origin..

may be prettier these days.  --graph is a recent invention that appeared
first in 1.5.6.

I hope that the question is not "How do I do anything on a remote without
having any network connection to it" as its answer cannot be anything but
"telepathy".
