I also miss the --simulate or --pretend option a lot. It would be a
great aid and I think it would also allow easier learning. Basically
whenever I am in doubt whether I am doing something right (as a newbie)
I would just run --pretend instead of digging through documentation. It
is often enough to asses correctness based on messages. This could also
lessen the unwanted empty-commits effect (discussed in the nearby
thread).
