In the output of bin/omero duplicate -h The following ...if the duplicate had been run. possibly means to say something like just like if the duplicate was run. Possibly the complex tense is expressing it, but I would vote for a more down-to-earth formulation. I cannot help thinking that it means if the duplicate was run which makes no sense, because this is a --dry-run

    # Do a dry run of a duplicate reporting the outcome
    # if the duplicate had been run
    omero duplicate Dataset:53 --dry-run

from rsync:

        -n, --dry-run               show what would have been transferred

from patch:

          Print the results of applying the patches without actually changing any files.

from make:

            Print the commands that would be executed, but do not execute them.

Like all three ways better than what we have now, but would vote for "patch" or "make" (nr. 2 or 3) rather than "rsync" (nr 1), because nr 1 is using the "would have" which might not be thoroughly practised/understood by non-native english speakers.
