Another way of saying this is that  "There are no changes on the remote
repository that are not reflected in your local repository."  Note that it
doesn't mean there aren't changes in your local repository, as compared with
the remote.

You can check for differences between your local repository and the remote
repository with 

git diff origin/master

which will compare the current branch with origin/master and show you the
patch it would take to convert origin/master into your current branch.
