I'm not sure what you're asking here, probably because I'm not much of a
cvs user, and don't know cvs switches.
If you want to see what 'svn commit' *would* commit, without actually
committing, just run 'svn status'. You get instant list of
modified/scheduled things.
If youw want to see what 'svn up' *would* modify, without actually
updating, run 'svn status -u'. It's the same as 'svn status', except
that it contacts the server and adds little asterisk marks next to every
file which is out-of-date. If you see a "*" and "M" on the same file,
it means you're in for either a merge or a conflict.
(FWIW, the --dry-run flag only exists for 'svn merge'.)
