I assume you mean svn status, not cvs.

I like to add those to the repository. It makes it easier for other
Eclipse developers to checkout your project. If you do not want to add
them ever, then you should add them to svn:ignore.

Eclipse has some built-in stuff for ignoring things. I would still add
the bin folder to my svn:ignore. That way if you use TortoiseSVN or the
CLI you will never accidentally version it. Also, it makes the Subversion
API's a bit faster as they will not traverse into that folder.

This is a design problem in Subversion itself. Martin already pointed you
to the FAQ. Subversion does not handle case changes on Windows very well.
 There is nothing Subclipse can do to make this better.
