Is there a way to always over-write local files?

[Xn Nooby <xn...@gmail.com>]

Is there a way using Subversion (and TortoiseSVN) to always over-write local
files?  I have a build machine that people sometimes tinker with, and I
would like to have 'official' versions of files be able to over-write local
copies during an "update".  So if someone wanted to do an "official build",
they could just come to the build-machine, do an update which would
over-write local edits, and then start the compiler.  I know the best
practice is not to have people tinker on the build machine, but stopping
that has not been an option   Ideally this would work with TortoiseSVN also,
otherwise I know I could do an "svn st" and revert any local edits before an
update was done.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Write a script that runs svn st, deletes any unversioned files, svn  
reverts any changed files, and then svn updates the working copy.
