As stated in my initial post, `svn update` does not change my working
copy.

This problem occurs with Microsoft Office 2003 (specifically .doc files

When I get out of work and on my laptop, I'll replicate the problem, and
paste exactly what I did - step by step - and hopefully someone else can
replicate it.
