Move problem with Win Filesystem

hi

the renaming of files to only change capitals does not
work on windows filesystem. example:

create file 'Hello.TXT' (e.g. copied from DOS filesystem)
svn add Hello.TXT
svn move Hello.TXT hello.txt
svn: Cannot move path 'Hello.TXT' into itself

the only workaround i know is to rename the file in
the remote repository and then checkout the hole
repository again into a new directory.

also if the file is renamed in the dos box with the ren
command from Hello.TXT to hello.txt there is no
success (see snippet below).

i think subversion recognizes the difference between the files
but does not handles the specialities of the windows filesystem.
that means operations in the db recognize the difference but
the filesystem operations doesn't.

to solve this problem the file could firstly be moved to the .svn
folder (or copied, but performance could be bad), then if copied
deleted and lastly moved from the .svn folder back with the
correct name.

so my question is: could somebody resolve this problem?

i don't know if this ever was an issue on the list. i didn't
find anything about it.

thanks in advance
