Also, you may want to check for a "case-conflict" of that particular file inside your repository. I.e. two files with filenames that only differ in case (e.g. pgms.tar.bz2 and Pgms.tar.bz2). This can give problems when checking out on a case-insensitive filesystem (which may manifest itself with an error such as this one). Cheers, -- Johan
