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.
