Checkout gets a copy from the Repository so you can work with it. Update - 'After you've run checkout to create your private copy of source from the common repository, other developers will continue changing the central source. From time to time, when it is convenient in your development process, you can use the update command from within your working directory to reconcile your work with any revisions applied to the source repository since your last checkout or update.' So it seems to me that your working copy will be updated from the Repository. Someone that knows more should be along shortly if I've got it wrong.
