Subject: Provide --just-run
X-Git-Tag: nailing-cargo/1.0.0~55
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c041aae649e9ca3e097976c43d4c66f51ac946eb;p=nailing-cargo.git

Provide --just-run

This is safer than asking the uxer to pass --no-nail --no-lock-manip
--no-concurrency-lock.
