Ahh: My mistake. I forgot to document --dry-run. I normally try to
make it priority to write the man page before implementing the code,
so I have a goal to go for (I sometimes change the man page if the
goal did not work in practice or was too hard to implement).

Here is the manpage entry for --dry-run. It will be in next version:

  --dry-run
                Print the job to run on standard output, but do not run the
                job. Use -v -v to include the ssh/rsync wrapping if the job
                would be run on a remote computer. Do not count on this
                literaly, though, as the job may be scheduled on another
                computer or the local computer if : is in the list.

So the answer is: -v -v
