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 have this problem occasionally on OSX (10.6, currently using svn 1.6.16). A workaround is to do this:

 svn update `svn ls -R`

It can be slow though.
