version control - SVN: how to compare working copy with repository revision?

Question

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 :-/

Answer 1

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
