If you still have the svn tree on your hard disk you can just do a 'svn 
update mythtv' to get it up to date. After that, I generally do the 
following:

cd mythtv
make distclean
./configure
qmake mythtv.pro
make
make install

Then do the same thing for mythplugins and myththemes as well. Backing 
up your database is a good idea since there were schema changes 
introduced at some point.
