Showing the last commit is not enough; the push command should account 
for all unpushed commits. Showing the messages of each, as well as 
diffstats (the lists of midified files) would be enough, I think. But an 
ability to quickly jump to each diff would be also valuable.

Magit deals with that by displaying a list of all local commits (just 
the summary lines) not yet pushed to the remove in a separate section in 
the magit-status buffer. Which is not bad, but we might prefer to show 
the full messages (and in a different buffer), to encourage the user to 
double-check for typos, etc, for the automated ChangeLog files.
