Need advice on recovering from a bad update

I did an update on a fairly large project and it looks like one or
more files didn't update properly. The project no longer runs. None of
the versioned files in the working copy were modified before the
update.

The same update on a separate working copy (updated from the same
remote repository) works fine. And the most recent version of the
project works for everyone else.

I'm assuming that one of more files was corrupted on download in the
first update. Check for updates reports nothing to update (even after
a successful cleanup).

I could delete everything and do a new checkout, but I have a number
of unversioned local files scattered around the project and it would
be a major pain to leave them intact and delete everything else.

Is there a way I can force an overwrite of the versioned files in my
working copy with the ones in the head revision of the repository, or
some other way to make them match, or am I SOL?

If I do have to delete all the versioned files, should I delete them
from within TSVN or via the OS?
