There is no way to recover. And why should there? You'll have to update
your working copy anyway, before you can commit anything.

The update process tries to merge changes, which might give rise to
conflicts, but nothing is really lost.

If you don't want other peoples changes in your working copy, then you
should create a branch for yourself. Please refer to the manual for an
explanation.
