But doesn't "branch -v" give the necessary information for that purpose
and even a bit more?  Couldn't "git fetch && git branch -v" be a better
solution for your real problem "X"?

Usually, when I run git push --dry-run, it's to check that what follows
(usually the refspec part) does what I want it to do, such as not pushing
tags I didn't intend to push(*), and stuff like that.

(*) the fact that all tags from all remotes are being mixed doesn't help,
here, and without dry-running, I end up pushing tags from one remote onto
another.
