This PR modifies ssm-scala so that you no longer need to pass -x or --execute in order to get it to execute the ssh command.
In 7 years of using SSM, I don't think I have ever wanted to run a command without -x. The only use case has been for scripts which have made use of --raw to build a more complex ssh command. With that in mind, I have modified the --raw setting so that it now disables execution.
This PR introduces a new 'dryrun' command line option as a way of getting the old behaviour back (printing out the ssh command rather than executing).
As this affects the default behaviour of SSM I this will need to be at least a minor version bump and I'll send out some comms as well after releasing.
What is the value of this?
Two characters less typing every time anyone uses SSM. Only 2 characters! So best not to think about this PR too much or it will take another year to pay off!
