Thanks for the clarification.

If you are starting with a fresh checkout, then you do not need to worry
about any kind of merge conflict. Conflicts only occur when you have
modified a file that is about to be merged. If you have not modified the
file locally, then there will be no conflict.

Objective 2 seems to conflict with Caveat 1. How will you determine which
files to overwrite? Also, how frequently will you do this - is this a
one-time task, or will this be done more than once?
