The update command does not offer a dry run flag as such, but the merge command can be used as a substitute. This article talks about how to do it, though I have not tried it personally.

Good luck!

I know that this list is Mediawiki but I feel at home here and I'm sure someone knows the answer to this.
I'm using SVN now to manage Mediawiki and, once one gets over the learning curve, its tremendous.
I know that I can update to the latest version with the (scarily brief and powerful "svn up") but I'm looking for something that will tell me exactly what files will change before I issue that command. I would also like to be able to see what would happen if I gave the command "svn sw" and switched to another branch.
I've looked at "svn st" and "svn info" but can't seem to find something that basically runs "svn up" without actually updating anything!
Anyone or should I go and get friendly on the SVN boards? _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
