How can I check what a 'git push' would do, without
actually doing it?

Is there something like 'git push --dry-run', similar
to 'rsync --dry-run'?

No. It is often safe to just do git-push, unless you have naive
developers doing pull every time some ref in your shared repo changes
*and* expecting the result to compile (typical for CVS way of work).
git-push will not overwrite anything, it always only forwards history.

Not strictly true. You _can_ push out non fastforward changes, unless you have receive.denyNonFastforwards in the repote repo - so you may well be able to push out something that is completely unrelated to the last commit the ref pointed to.
