i agree.

Thats not true. The current subversion code uses -t for --test. Probably
you confuse with iptables-save ?

http://svn.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/iptables/iptables-restore.c?rev=7087&view=markup
-------- snip -----------------------------------------------
			case 't':

If you want me to change it to --dry-run, i will do that, so i can use
-t for --table.
