Yes.  The "-s" flag says use the server's copy,
the "-c" flag says use the local copy and don't
report the conflict again.

For example, earlier this afternoon I did
(output isn't exact, this is from memory).

	g% replica/pull -v /dist/replica/network
	...
	386/bin/ssh: locally modified; will not update
	386/bin/sshnet: locally modified; will not update
	lib/ndb/local: locally modified; will not update
	...
	g%

and resolved these by taking the new ssh binaries:

	g% replica/pull -vs /dist/replica/network 386/bin/ssh 386/bin/sshnet
	c 386/bin/ssh
	c 386/bin/sshnet
	g%

Note the lack of rooted slashes in the paths on the command line.

I would have next told replica/pull that I was happy
with lib/ndb/local the way I changed it:

	g% replica/pull -vc /dist/replica/network lib/ndb/local
	g%

except that when trying to figure out that there shouldn't
be rooted slashes on the pull ssh command line, I tried

	g% replica/pull -vs /dist/replica/network
	...
	g%

which forced the server copy for everything.  I don't actually
use /lib/ndb/local, so I was okay.  Live and learn.
