Missing --dry-run?
Hi!
Any reason why --dry-run is implemented only for merge, but not for update
and switch? I could really use it with switch, to make sure I got the URL
right and I won't screw up my working copy...
Thanks,
Patrik Rak

Definitely. I do not need it for update at all, I just mentioned that
one for completness, as it might logically belong there as well.

Yes, that definitely is a good idea!
As long as update is concerned, `svn status -u` is a be a good equivalent,
IMHO. What do you think?
Just today I had a very difficult merge (/me as a wed designer gone wild!)
followed by a "difficult" switch that I got wrong - I was off-by-one dir, so
that screwed my working dir (5K+ files) after pressing Ctrl+C. A clean
checkout fixed the matter in some minutes. Good that was not the live server
(I rsync later, _after_ checking the exit code of `svn up`).
So, yes a --dry-run would be much appreciated for some weired cases.
Just my 2 yen.
Kalin.
