I'm not completely sure what happens on initial checkout, I don't think it will overwrite anything. But after you have checked it out once, then your (local) changes will never get written over by subversion. It will do its best to merge it with the updates that happen in the repository [...]
That's assuming you do the checkout in ~/Library -- users who are not going to checkin changes to the repository should always do the checkout in /Library to avoid this.
