get latest directory contents in IntelliJ

I just started using IntelliJ and I wanted to know what is the best way to replace your workspace directory contents with the latest ones from cvs. Whenever I run updat开发者_Go百科e it doesn't overwrite the changes I made but I am looking for an option where it will blindly overwrite.

You want to do a force checkout or force update, this isn't really an Intellij IDEA issue, as much as it is a CVS behavior regardless of IDE, or no IDE.

You can open the Changes view, revert all of your local changes from there, and then update from the version control.
