12 This command synchronizes your local working copy with the server and is
13 probably, along with <userinput>svn commit</userinput> the command you will
14 use most frequently. If you have made local changes, Subversion will try to
15 merge any changes on the server with the changes you have made <emphasis>on
16 your machine</emphasis>.
19 <para>You should always do a manual <command>svn <option>update</option>
20 </command> before trying to commit changes in order to ensure that there are
21 no conflicts with changes that have been made since you started your work.
22 Note that <command>svn <option>commit</option></command> will warn you if
23 there is a conflict, in case you forget to perform an <command>svn
24 <option>update</option></command>.
