TortoiseGit - how to tell what files have changed on remote (origin) server?

How can you tell which files have changed remotely (on the origin server)?

I thought if you did a "Fetch" that the client would learn which files have changed and so be able to show you in a list or - more intuitively given the interface - as overlay icons on those files. But I can't figure out what it's actually doing. And then what about the "Sync" and "Check for Modifications" commands - what are they for if not to show you what has changed beyond your local computer?
