Try changing, it's just the Subversion thing.

Is a dry-run option really needed? iptables-edit does not commit
any tables to the kernel, so the program in itself is already
in dry-run mode. If the resulting ruleset that iptables-edit will
generate is not loadable (e.g. xt_somemodule missing), then
iptables-restore should turn that up when trying to load the
bogus ruleset.
