Hrmm... I sense a bit of a culture clash going on. The SVN client and
any command line shell can already do what you ask. Just run 'svn
status -u > status.txt' and *poof* you have your cached information.
You can even script it to do 'svn info' and diffs on the updates.
So it's not a new feature being asked for, instead, a better way of
presenting the data is desired. GUI clients should already be able to
do something pretty with that information with the current version of
SVN. This sounds more like a request better handled by clients like
TortoiseSVN.
