Re: FW: folder naming (not case sensitive)

This is not a bug. It is how the Subversion library (the library used by
TSVN) works.

It's multi platform (by design). Note: this is an issue for other version
control systems (possibly excluding those that only run under Windows) as
well.

There is really now way around it. If you work with Windows you must be
aware of how your file system works (and it's limitations). You could
install a hook script (on the svn server) to check the case of files and or
directories and not allow things in certain cases, or even if there is
another file of the different case with in the repo.
