VSS to SVN- How to Checkout but do not get local copy

I am transitioning from VSS to SVN using Tortoise and I cannot figure out how to checkout a project that I created and not over write my local copy. VSS lets you checkout without overriding your local copy. I searched around and could not find the answer.

When you check out into an existing folder, Subversion will not overwrite your existing files. Instead it will mark them as modified already after the checkout is finished.

You need checkout to empty folder and after override received files by yours.

The best bet with SVN, in that case, is to simply checkout a new copy to a new folder that you create.
