Now you've reminded me of something, those brain-dead tools that rename files you have under svn, and when you come to commit them, they get ignored because the system think's they're new files. TortoiseSVN has some special-case handling for these, try to commit one of them and Tortoise will pop up a messagebox asking if you want to rename the case and retry the operation (and gives you a menu option to rename files directly). http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-rename.html Of course, the best approach would just to make the entire system case-insensitive and cater to the lowest common denominator (after all, the http transport should be case-insensitive too, I get to the same place typing in www.apache.com or www.APACHE.com, but not when it comes to the svn repo url).
