SVN update returns nothing, while it should

First some background information;

Now comes the problem, and I'm struggling with this for a few days now.

Before I execute the checkout command svn co http://server_home/folder, I want to make sure no conflicts are going to happen, so I execute svn status [folder_on_webserver].

But this doesn't return the result as expected, it returns nothing. When I execute * svn status --show-updates [folder_on_webserver]* it returns the following:

       *            newfolder
       *       13   anotherfolder
       *       13   yetanotherfolder
       *       13   .
Status against revision:     16

As you can see it misses the svn codes (A,U,D).

Does somebody knows why the svn update command and the svn codes doesnt work?

svn status will not work before svn co. You need to have your repository checked out before you can check the status. Use svn up to update.
