How to find new files added by others into main repository

1. What is the standard or best way to refresh one's local repository with
new files/folders that had been added by others to the main repository? The
update command only seems to work with files that already exist locally but
ignores any that have been added by others. It would be a shame and a large
timewaster for large repositories if the only way to do this is to
periodically delete the local repository and checkout everything afresh from
the main one.

2.What command(s) can provide a list of all folders/files that are in the
main repository but not in the local one?
