Is this possible in Subversion?

Hi Everybody,

Today one of our developers (who comes from VSS) asked me a question
about svn and I have been unable to provide him with a decent answer;
I've been walking through google results and mailing list archives
but couldn't come up with a solution.

I'll just say what he wants to do in case somebody has que same
question in mind:

Is there such thing as "svn update --replace_existing_non_versioned" ?

It is a file that already exists with the same name locally (is
unversioned) and you're bringing a new version from the repository.
It should ask "Replace Local" Yes/No.
The thing is: if the file is versioned and is locally, svn will merge
(or try at least), but if the file is not there, there's a file exist
conflict. He wants a way to --force the update to replace the local
file.

He showed me a VSS option called "REPLACE LOCAL" that does exactly
this. I couldn't come up with a simple solution (except from manually
deleteing the "should be replaced locally stored files" by hand.

Any insight?
