How to make SVN perform a command without making changes
On svn update, you can use svn status --show-updates
to show all items you will update.
For merges, you can use --dry-run
any problems.
Use merge
and --dry-run
with the same URLs you will use for the switch
. It should give you the information you are looking for even though you'll be using switch
instead of merge
in the end.
