An 'update' will update your local copy with the changes in the
*repository*. Since you had just done a fresh checkout and nobody else
had changed anything since then, naturally the update didn't do
anything.
To update the repository with your changes, you 'commit' them.
Since you've done things in the wrong order (by copying your changes in
from 'outside' subversion), it might be a bit trickier than that,
though. If you're *absolutely* certain that the other developers
haven't changed anything in any of the files you changed, then just
doing a commit will be fine.
But if the other developer has changed the same file you have, then
you'll have to manually merge the changes. (Normally subversion will
detect this condition and warn you about it. But because of the order
you did things in this time, it won't be able to detect the condition.
So be careful.)
