Please can you say why you want to know "what 'svn update' will do"?  How does 
printing the initial and/or final revision number at the beginning of its 
operation help you?  I don't see the point of printing "to revision 413" at the 
beginning as well as the end in your short example; I imagine this would only 
be useful for updates that take a long time.

I am also interested.  Could you or someone describe exactly what information 
TSVN's similar feature provides, and help give an idea of why it is useful?
