This is not a bug, it is normal behavior (it shouldn't actually be
"crashing" but rather stopping due to a filename collision).
Subversion repositories are case-sensitive, as are MOST filesystems.
Because Windows is not case-sensitive, if you need to share a project
with Windows users, you need to ensure that filenames are unique.
There is a Python script available to stop you from committing files
like this. If you already have files with name collisions, you can
rename them via the Repo Browser in TSVN, or on the command line using
direct URLs.
