Usually, when I run git push --dry-run, it's to check that what follows
(usually the refspec part) does what I want it to do, such as not pushing
tags I didn't intend to push(*), and stuff like that.

(*) the fact that all tags from all remotes are being mixed doesn't help,
here, and without dry-running, I end up pushing tags from one remote onto
another.
