RE: Rename in case mixes up working copy

The problem seems to be that TSVN sees the difference in case (so it shows a question mark icon).
I am guessing that TSVN tried to rename the file (on update) but Windows detected that the name "is same" (using case insensitive comparison) and did not change the name.

Either way it would be nice for TSVN to handle it.
