subversion man page available?
Hello All,
Is there a subversion man page available?
What is the equivalent to the global CVS option "-n" in subversion?
Do not change any files. Attempt to execute the `cvs_command', but only
to issue reports; do not remove, update, or merge any existing files, or
create any new files.
Say I don't want to update the files. Just want to know which files are out
of date.Is there any other way to do it other than "svn status
--show-updates". And what about for other commands. If I just want to see
output and not change files?
Thanks
Vinay

Would it be maintained if it were? I always assumed the svn placeholder
manpage was a way to avoid the need to update two things in the source (and
that the svnbook filled that niche anyhow...)

The svn man page doesn't seem to have a lot of info in it; it just
advises you to type "svn help <command>" to learn more about the
commands.

I don't think there is a direct equivalent, not a global option
anyway that applies to all subcommands. What specifically do you need
it for?

"svn status --show-updates" appears to be the intended equivalent for
"cvs -n update", according to the SVN's appendix for CVS users:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.forcvs.status-vs-update.html
Does it not work for you?

Well, for example, "svn merge" has a "--dry-run" option. However it
doesn't always work perfectly, so most of us prefer to just do the
merge, and if it ends up not being what we wanted, we revert it using
"svn revert -R ."
For what other commands would you like to do a dry run?
