[PATCH v2 1/3] commit: --dry-run

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

This teaches --dry-run option to "git commit".

It is the same as "git status", but in the longer term we would want to
change the semantics of "git status" not to be the preview of commit, and
this is the first step for doing so.
