Is there a possibility to check if an SVN update would result in a conflict?

Question

Before I do an svn up, I'd like to see in what that operation would result. Specifically, I would want to know in advance if one of my files would go into a conflicted state, but also, which files have changed. So, is there a possibility to do that?

Answer 1

Yes, but not with svn up. You can use this command:

svn merge -–dry-run -r BASE:HEAD
