However: if TSVN would not have adjusted/fixed those case-renames automatically, that user would then have committed those renamed files as new ones, resulting in two files with the same name but different in case in the repository. And then on the next checkout/update on windows you would have gotten errors because that's not possible on windows. So: that setting saved your ass. Even if you won't admit it. Sure, you had problems because of that, but you would have greater problems without it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TortoiseSVN" group.
