Bug Description

It would be nice to see what files will be updated by a pull/merge before doing it. This might help the user in seeing whether they want to pull or not.

We could possibly also show where conflicts will occur.

The common cvs idiom "cvs -n update" shows both local files and files which will be updated. svn status by default shows only locally modified files, but will show potentially-updated files if '-u' is given. Separating them is probably good.

This should be pretty easy. Instead of applying the transform, finalize it.

dry-run option on all commands is highly desirable methinks.
