freebsd-update look for updates without fetching them

Is there an option to freebsd-update or a separate utility that allows one to see what would be downloaded using freebsd-update fetch without downloading?
 
Nothing I'm aware of, but /usr/sbin/freebsd-update is just a shell script, so you can just open it and read what it does. Then create your own tool.
 
This is not what you are exactly looking for, but still!
1. Git clone the complete src/
2. Before running binary update, pull the src/ out git pull --ff-only
3. It may give you some idea that what are the diffs.

freebsd-update cron is probably the closest to what you want, edit /usr/sbin/freebsd-update to adjust the sleep to your needs, see sleep `jot -r 1 0 3600`

edit:
...without downloading?
ah, missed that...
