svn update is not updating!

Question

I want svn update to overwrite my local file with the files from the server, even if my local files have modifications, I want to throw them away and use the version that\'s on

Answer 1

I just wanted to add a little to what diyism posted.

I didn't see the . next to the ; in the line

svn revert -R .; svn up

and it confused me. I don't know why you need to explicitly use . for all files when using revert and you don't using update but that seems to be the way it is.

So, in case it helps anyone, I thought it would be more clear to see the answer as two lines

svn revert -R .
svn update
