Overwriting files.

This is going to be one of those "stupid" questions...
Where I end up feeling like a bit of an idiot for having to ask....
but far better to ask and feel foolish and get some appropriate
instructions - than not to ask and simply be foolish!

Anyway,

I have the folloiwng paths in the repo already.
trunk/
branches/vendor1/

What I need to do is completely overwrite vendor1 with the current
state of the trunk.

I thought that svn copy would be my friend..
svn copy trunk/ branches/vendor1/
but it won't work because the target already exists, and it doesn't
have a --force option either.

Previously I have used;
svn export trunk/ branches/vendor1 --force

and I have also simply copied the files with the OS and then later
committed.

And I have also used;
svn merge -r1:head trunk/ branches/vendor1/ - but that just seems like
a bit of overkill - particularly if the trunk has seen a lot of action!

So I hand it over to you, to point me in the right direction, please!

Thanks in advance,
Gavin.
