You can never see what changes other people have made since your last commit, because to get the changes, you have to do an update
svn diff -rBASE:HEAD to see the changes since your last update. svn diff -rHEAD to diff your working tree against the repository. Which does send the diffs over the web, and is inconveniently slow.
(I’m not a svn user. I just agreed with the initial reaction of “that’s ridiculous”, and followed it up with “I bet there really is a way to do that” and looked at the manpage.)

Wow, it is right there in svn help diff! I’m going to try this first thing Monday.
You might also enjoy svn status’s—show-updates switch, which shows what files would be updated if you ran
svn update.It works!
Oh good, I thought I was going crazy :)
This is phenomenal! Thanks!
