Actually, a 'debug' or 'dry-run' mode that simply prints out the git commands without running them would be useful for all kinds of users. Newbies can learn from it and pros can make sure that the commands are going to do what they expect it to. With git, I know what each command does but my concern with legit (and similar) is that the higher level commands might not do exactly what I think based on their name/description.
