I presumed that --abort was for your own use in debugging your changes, and
would be deleted before merging. If you _do_ intended on merging it, please
do give a better name though (`--dry-run' seems reasonable to me).
[Along the same lines, perhaps commit could also support what-changed's
`--changeset' option to allow outputing the changset to a file instead of
committing it (it's not entirely redundant with what-changed, because commit
makes slightly different changesets -- the docs should make this clear, of
course).]
