no --dry-run to git-pull ?

Hi,

Isn't there a way to do a --dry-run with git-pull ?

Thank you,

Not really. But you can do a 'git fetch origin', then a
'git log master..origin/master', and it'll tell you what changes will be
merged if you do a 'git merge origin/master'.

NOTES:

1) Replace origin and master with your repomte and branch.

2) If this sounds cryptic for you, then it might be an important info
that by default a pull is a fetch + a merge.

What puzzles me is the origin keyword. Is it set only if I initially
cloned a repo ?
Because in my case, I have just rsync'ed a repo to another station, so
I fear it will have no meaning in my case.
Thank you

Heh. git remote add -f origin <url>, then you'll have it. And yes, you
have it if you cloned the repo, of course rsync won't add it. ;-)
