"Apparently" lost? Have you verified that they are or not?

If you have changes which conflict with incoming changes that are
pulled by an Update, they will not be "lost". They will be flagged as
a Conflict and you'll be given an opportunity to resolve those
conflicts yourself (and required to do so, before you can commit). If
your changes do not conflict with the incoming changes, they will be
merged automatically.

If I had to confirm "yes, I really do want to update" every time I use
Update, I'd probably stop using whatever client was doing that and
switch to a less bothersome one.
