Ignoring the 'svn should be case-sensitive on windows' argument for the
moment, how do you even get a successful checkout on Windows at the moment?
I just setup an example repository, and created the following directories:

/trunk/alpha
/trunk/ALPHA

Attempting to checkout /trunk (from the command-line v1.6.11) gives the
following message:

svn: URL 'file:///C:/temp/svn_sandpit/repository/trunk/ALPHA' of existing
directory 'trunk\alpha' does not match expected URL
'file:///C:/temp/svn_sandpit/repository/trunk/alpha'

This error message is similar to checking out files which differ only in
case.
