Like Jean-Marc I am intrigued as to how your changes could possibly
have been lost without generating a conflict. Or did you update and
then re-save your original version, overwriting the changes from
others? If you did that then a diff in your working copy would show
lots of changes which are in fact you undoing your colleagues work.
If you really feel that Update is too dangerous then remove it from
the context menu and use Update-to-revision instead.

But it won't help at all. If someone else has changed the file then
you cannot commit before updating anyway, as Felix says.
