title: Force SVN update / checkout to overwrite local files
body: <p>i'm planning to run  (<strong>on my server!</strong>)</p>
  
  <p>svn update</p>
  
  <p>to update my LIVE website with updates. However, i'm worried about 'C' conflicts which will prevent my site scripts from functioning. How can I force the checkout / update process to overwrite all local files (<strong>on my server!</strong>)?</p>
  
  <p>I know one solution would be to do this on a separate directory - any thing else more efficient?</p>
