1) Check out from the repository
2) Overlay your copies
3) Commit

Assuming that keeping history is the right thing to do. If they're
truly different files, it should be:

1) Check out from the repository
2) Delete
3) Commit
4) Copy your files into the working copy
5) Add
6) Commit

Generally you would check out a working copy from the server, then  
copy your newer files over the existing files in the working copy.  
Use "svn status" and "svn diff" to ensure these changes are ones you  
would like to make. Then "svn commit" to get the changes saved to the  
repository.
