Using git, how can I see what files are in one branch but not another?

Imagine I have:

Is there a way to get a list of something like:

Or otherwise something similar (the same command could be run backwards to list unique to BranchB files)?

Note I do not care about differences in the files but just the presence of the files.

@marcusshep that _could_ give a good start but I would have to create a temporary branch and export out an entire diff, then apply the diff to see all those staged changes. That seems... hack-like. – enderland Aug 10 '16 at 15:03
