Being a CVS user and fairly new to SVN myself, I would say it took me maybe a
few hours to get used to 'svn status' and 'svn status -u'. If these commands
do exactly what your users are looking for, why can't your users also make a
habit of using them? There is a little brain strain at first, but once you
get used to it 'svn status' and 'svn status -u' work just fine (and are more
intuitive than their CVS counterparts, I'd say).
