Btw, what you can always do is just git pull <other-end> .. look at the result .. git reset --hard ORIG_HEAD and you should be ok. It's obviously not a dry-run, it's more of a "do it and then undo it", but hey, it should _work_. (Look out for dirty state, though. "git pull" will happily pull into a dirty tree if the changes don't actually affect any dirty files. The "git reset --hard" thing will undo all dirty state, though).
