I knew this one, but I would prefer an option that did not change the
files on disk. You know, things sometimes fail, and they can fail in
the middle of the operation.

This is specially true for a GUI tool that uses fossil and wants to
show to the user what would happen in case of update. Would any user
ever forgive the tool if it accidentally deleted one file in the
course of its automatic operations?
