Edit: I was wrong. See below.

Shawn Pierce wrote the following about git push --dry-run:

A --dry-run doesn't send the commands the client would use from client to server, so the server can't tell the client if it would accept them or not. The entire --dry-run thing is client side only.

(my emphasis)
