Yes, it will fetch the things into your database, unlike BK, but that's
kind of the point. That's what makes branches so powerful (you can do a
lot more than "bk changes -R").

Hmm? Again, do
git fetch <thing-to-be-fetched>
into a local branch first. That gets it into your repo, so that you can do
things.
After that, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "--dry-run". Do you mean
to know about file-level conflicts? You do need to do the merge in order
to know whether the conflicts can be resolved, but even without doing the
merge you can look for _file_level_ conflicts by other means.
I don't think anybody has done it, but a script like
OTHER="$1"
BASE=$(git-merge-base HEAD $OTHER) || exit
git-merge-tree $BASE HEAD $OTHER | grep -v '^0'
will show if there were file-level conflicts (in a pretty strange format,
admittedly).
Of course, 99% of the time, a three-way merge will just handle those fine
(the output from "git-merge-tree" is enough to know to do a three-way
merge on temp-files, if you want to try that).
