Since commit 653530c8b196 I use this little script I borrowed from Magnus, then
page through all of it before pushing.

git push --dry-run 2>&1 | grep -v '^To' | while read line; do
if [ "$line" == "Everything up-to-date" ]; then
echo $line
else
topush=$(echo $line | awk '{print $1}')
git log --format=oneline $topush | cat
git show --format=fuller --color $topush | cat
fi
done | less -R
