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

Use "Revert" instead.

Answer 2

By the way, that's actually a feature of SVN. It will never overwrite any of your modifications when updating (unless you explicitly throw them away using revert.

Answer 3

You have to revert your modifications, and if necessary do an update after that.
