How to find new files added by others into main repository
1. What is the standard or best way to refresh one's local repository with
new files/folders that had been added by others to the main repository? The
update command only seems to work with files that already exist locally but
ignores any that have been added by others. It would be a shame and a large
timewaster for large repositories if the only way to do this is to
periodically delete the local repository and checkout everything afresh from
the main one.
2.What command(s) can provide a list of all folders/files that are in the
main repository but not in the local one?

(top posting because this is OT):
This document: "http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/research/robots/iris4/developers/svntutorial/"
is SO WRONG that I wonder if the guy even understands how to use
subversion.
Please ignore everything said there and go read proper documentation :
- http://svnbook.red-bean.com/
- http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/index.html

Yes, just run update on the directory. That web page is wrong.
If you say "svn update *", then the page is correct (because that
updates each file), but if you say "svn update" you'll get the new
additions.

Thanks Matt & Duncan for the replies. Yes I had meant "working copy" when I
wrote "local repository". Also I know this isn't a tortoiseSVN mailing list
so won't labor this point but I had in fact tried to move a couple of files
from one location to another in my working copy, but looks like I ended up
with the situation described at
http://www.mind.ilstu.edu/research/robots/iris4/developers/svntutorial/
ie "When you run an update, only the files already checked out will be
updated (or deleted, if they were deleted in the repository since you last
updated) - if new files have been added to the repository, or you if you
have deleted a file (or renamed a file), you will not get all of the files
in the current version. Again, only the files already on your hard drive
will be touched, and they can only be deleted or overwritten with the latest
version of the file."
Anyway to resolve this issue, I ended up deleting the working copy and
checking the whole repository out again. I don't know if there's an
easier/faster way of achieving this?

svn update will normally add new files. I suspect the issue in your
case is that you have checked out a subdirectory (e.g. trunk), and the
new files were added to a different one (e.g. a branch).

I don't think there is such a command. You can use "svn ls -R" to list
all the files in the repository, but you'll have to filter the list
yourself.

i think you mean "working copy" if you mean what you get when you `svn co
URL` - that is called a "working copy"
`svn update` updates your working copy to the most recent revision in the
repository. if it is not doing that, please include a transcript of the
shell session

"local repository" ?
