Although svn is case sensitive windows is not.

If I rename a local file (that exists in a repository) on the local 
system via Visual Studio 2003 from say 'message.cs' to 'Message.cs' then 
the uppercase version is checked into svn on the next commit and not 
renamed as expected.

Now there are two files which 'appear' to have the same name under 
windows in the repository, 'Message.cs' and 'message.cs'.

This obviously causes windows a great deal of trouble when trying to 
update a local repository, and the only way to fix it is with direct 
manipulation of the server side repository.

It would be nice (hey this is not a complaint, as we have successfully 
been using Ankhsvn for several years now!) if this was checked and fixed 
sometime in the future.

Thanks again for a great tool,

Andy Gumbrecht.
