The --dry-run option disables actually doing the transfers. You would use it in combination with whatever output options you like (-v, -i, --out-format, etc.). > Or even better, after it shows the transfers it is about to do to prompt if > user would like to proceed. That is not currently implemented. One way this could work is to use --delay-updates --delete-after and prompt the user just before the delayed update/delete pass. If the user cancels, staged files will be left in .~tmp~ directories in the destination, but these can easily be deleted by a shell script.
