c:\webs\test has no connection to the repository at all, so it cannot
be updated from the repository. If you do an "in-place import" from
c:\webs\test, it will be a working copy, so you can run svn update to
pull the updates down to it. See
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#in-place-import for information
on performing an in-place import.
Any working copies you have must have svn update explicitly executed
against them for the updates to be retrieved. Subversion is a "pull"
system, not "push."
