When I check out a previous commit of a git repository, 'git log' no longer shows commits that were committed after the currently checked out commit.
So, the question is: how do get a log of commits after the currently checked out one?

You can use the --all flag to see all revisions, as in
git log --all
If you are just interested in the future revisions, you can also use
git log ..@{1} # assuming you just switched from the future master
git log ..abcdef # assuming abcdef is the newest future commit

@drzaus `@{n}` is the n-th commit in your current branch, so `@{1}` is simply the newest commit in the current branch. The double-dot `..` indicates show everything reachable from the commit to the right that is not reachable from the commit to the left. Therefore, `HEAD..@{1}` shows everything that is reachable from the newest commit in the current branch but not the current commit (and `HEAD` can be left out). – phihag Nov 28 '14 at 21:39

The problem is: you don't know the children commits, only the parent comments.
And if you checkout directly a commit SHA1, you are in Detached HEAD mode (ie not on any branch).
One potential solution would be to list all the branches which contains your commit: "How to know which branch a “git log” commit belongs to?".
And then do a git log for each of those branches.
