AFAIU, "-n" is used for "dry run" quite widely (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22n%22+%22dry_run%22). Among well-known tools are Perforce and CVS.
We can use "--dry_run", of course, but the name doesn't say, that it also makes the tool display diff. Maybe "--show" or something similar?
> Or maybe two parameters "--dry_run" (do not apply changes) and "-v" (display diffs)?
I'm not sure anyone will ever need these options separately. Do you see how this could be used?
