[Mediawiki-l] Question about SVN

[Daniel Friesen]

svn diff -r HEAD

That'll give you the diff between your copy and head. Which svn up will 
update to.

Though, do note that the output will be rather large, and hard to read 
on prompt. With all the -'s and +'s I doubt it'll be to useful for doing 
updates.
