Is there a way to perform a dry-run from the command line, where Unison
prints all the changes it would have made during a batch sync without
actually performing them? This is similar to running the UI, reviewing the
list, and then closing the window without hitting "Go," but I want the list
of changes printed to stdout so that I can capture them in a file or pipe
them to another program.

Sorry if this is explained in the manual, but in that case I would suggest
making this use-case more prominent there, perhaps as an example. Thanks,

Todd Wilson
