svn update updates your working copy, and only prints information about files that it updates.
Subversion has combined the CVS P
and
U
codes into just U
. When
a merge or conflict occurs, Subversion simply prints
G
or C
, rather than a
whole sentence about it.
For a more detailed discussion of svn update, see the section called “Update Your Working Copy”.
