SVN: how to compare working copy with repository revision?
repository, svn, version-control
Solution
Try
svn status --show-updates
The `-u` (or `--show-updates`) option to `svn status` causes svn to contact the repository and show stuff that's changed in the repository - is that enough for you ? Depending on what you need, you might want the `-q` or `--verbose` flag too
Problem
I want see only the list of files that have been modified, added, etc., not the content (`svn diff` outputs that), only the list of files like `svn status`. `svn diff -r HEAD` dumps me tons of information, which is hard to understand quickly. `svn status` shows only the changes comparing the working copy with its local original version (not with the repository revision). `svn update` does not support `--dry-run` Briefly, I need something like `svn status`, but what compares the current working copy with the repository revision (I'm going to compare with a HEAD revision). I looked through the SVN manual, but nothing helped to me, unfortunately :-/
