will svn status --show-updates cache the results

[Alexander Mueller <Xe...@web.de>]

If I want to check whether are newer files of my wc in the repository I 
am using svn status --show-updates. The output is OK but my wc doesnt 
remember the values. So the next time I am calling "svn status" only my 
local changes will be displayed. Are there any plans to add this 
feature/option in subversion?

No, there isn't.  The first version of the command is meant to ask about the 
status of your working copy versus the base of your working copy.  In other 
words, what sort of changes you have made to your working copy so far.  The 
latter, 'svn st -u', is meant to tell you what will change in your working 
copy should you decide to do an update.  In general, it's really the first 
one that people really want to know, and is especially useful for tracking 
your changes.

Check out the book at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.  It talks about this sort 
of stuff in Chapter 3.  Here's the link to that:
