No. "svn update" will take you to the last committed version. "svn
commit" will then commit your changes. Yes, it is theoretically
possible someone could commit a change between your "update" and
"commit", but if other people are regularly making changes to the
files that you are also making changes too, then you've got bigger
problems than source code management.
