FWIW, the pull command also accepts --ff-only.  I have setup a "puff" alias for 
this (PUll --FF-only => PUFF):

git config --global alias.puff 'pull --ff-only'

Then you could do:

git checkout master     # if not already on master
git puff origin/master

I also have a "ff" alias for fast-forwarding:

git config --global alias.ff 'merge --ff-only'

Then you could do:

git checkout master # if not already on master
git fetch
# examine changes
git ff origin/master

Enjoy,
Dave
