#1055: missing a no-clobber option when svn fail to update? (and other rcs?)

Comment(by blaize):

 Some more info:

 Svn update is failing because:
    a) someone cancels during an svn update leaving a lock
    b) there's some weirdness about running svn clients on windows and
 servers on unix
       (to do with filename cases) that leaves a lock (apparently)
    c) something else not too sure.
 So these are happening with reasonable regularity.

 In case i) it's probably reasonable to have a go at doing an svn cleanup
 followed by another svn update then fail if that update dies.

 Another extremely important requirement of this is that the SVN step must
 fail if svn update fails!!  i.e. I'm happy for it to just die.  Fail-slow
 in this situation is just terrible though.

 cheers
