Hi Phil,
This is standard Subversion usage according to the Copy-Modify-Merge model.
Read in the SVN book for further details:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.basic.vsn-models.html#svn.basic.vsn-models.copy-merge
Bottom line, if you want to undo local changes, you need to use svn
revert. not update.
