I use a Bash function in my .bash_profile:

function svnst() {
    svn st -q $1 | grep . | grep -v ^Perf
}

This function passes the parameter of "the files I want the status of", 
uses the "-q" option to hide "?" and "X" files, and then pulls out blank 
lines and lines starting with "Performing...".
