request for "pretend" option
I'd dearly like a command line option that says "show me what you'd do, but
don't do it". This is often "-n" (rsync, make). When doing repository
operations (as opposed to working-copy operations), it would be nice to
verify what's really happening before screwing up and recording it for all
time. :)
Thanks
David
P.S. If there is one, I haven't found it.

It is more frequent, but I'm far less worried about things that affect my
working copy than those that affect my repository.

What about "svn status -u" -- I'm a newbie, but needed this dry-run
feature and that has been doing the trick.

I wasn't clear enough. I didn't mean that "update" already had a
dry run option. I meant that I would like to see a dry run option
added to the update command. IMHO, that's a much more frequent
operation than delete, copy, or import.

It's not in the help for the 1.3.

According to 1.3.0 help, only merge. I would like to see it on delete, copy,
and import at the least.

some of the commands have a '--dry-run' option
