I wanted a way to retrieve just the revision numbers of my current directory and the trunk so that I could trigger the update if they are different. I wanted to avoid the issue of a user committing a new license and a developer committing a change right during the upload/commit (sort of a race condition).
What exactly, is your worry there? Commits are atomic and serial; if 2
people issue an svn commit at the same time, whichever commit reaches
the server will wait in line until the first completes (either by
failing/aborting, or by committing successfully). If both are
committing to the same path, the second will be refused & informed
that he must update his working copy before he may commit.

Subversion is not designed to be polled in this way. svn update will
utilize minimal server time & resources if there is no change to
retrieve, but that isn't a free license to poll every few seconds.
Subversion's hooks are purpose-built to allow you to do what you're
looking for - trigger an action upon a specific event in the
repository.
