\'Object of the same name already exists\'; so autoskip the object?

How do I skip files that I already have locally?

->

j_at_IDPP-0644:~/compile$ svn checkout svn://svn.icculus.org/alienarena/trunk
svn: Failed to add file \'trunk/data1/default.cfg\': object of the
same name already exists
j_at_IDPP-0644:~/compile$ cd trunk/
j_at_IDPP-0644:~/compile/trunk$ svn up
svn: Failed to add file \'data1/default.cfg\': object of the same name
already exists

All I need to do is skip files that are already there. I would have
expected this to be the default action.
I certainly don\'t want to delete it all and start again. This is why
I\'m using SVN; to download only what I need over 3G.

I\'ve looked on the FAQ list, and surprised it\'s not there:
