2010 is different problem. Two files in the repos map to one on the
disk.

667 is talking about the same issue.

Done and I also change the summary to:
"handle file name case sensitivity edge cases"
so help others find this issue.

My guess is that this is not going to be easy to fix and will take a lot
of research and time to get a patch together because of the assumption
in the code that file systems are case sensitive. If my guess is wrong
on the scale of the problem I might (no promisies) be able to take a
look.
Mean while I'll merge a patch to pysvn workbench to work around the
issue.
