How do I check the latest SVN logs, without doing svn update?

Let's say I haven't svn update in a while. However, before I want to do a svn update, I want to see what has been changed.

How can I do that?开发者_运维问答

svn status --show-updates

Learn more about the 'status' command in the SVN Redbook

svn log -r BASE:HEAD will display the log between the current BASE and the HEAD of the repository.

For sake of other users ( or even OP if they are using TortoiseSVN), in order to achieve the same with TortoiseSVN:

Right-click on your working copy folder, choose "Check for modifications". In that dialog, click on the button "Check repository".

( in the background, this does use the svn st -u svn command like @Gareth Western mentions )

You can check the show history. It logs all the actions and updates done in the file or project.
