You didn't cc the svn dev list or bother to go and read the thread
there did you?
Please do *NOT* respond to this thread anymore. I don't get why you,
Ulrich, responded when you have nothing to say at all really and you
don't bother to read what you were told to read in order to be able to
respond. "Bert Huijben" <bert_at_qqmail.nl> has said (this is out of
context - for the context please go and read the _actual_ thread.

"Currently in Subversion 1.6 the working copy can't handle files/directories
that only differ by casing as our administrative area uses the same names.

For Subversion 1.7 (with the new working copy library) something like this
suggestion is planned. (The actual planned behavior is that you get an
obstruction conflict)
