No, that's my point. The underlying file system isn't relevant to how
Suversion stores the file names. If one hosts the repository on a
Windows server, then adds foo.txt and Foo.txt from a Linux client, the
two files will still be separate entities in the repository, and if one
tries to check them out with a windows client, a problem will likely
result.

It's the file system of the *client* to which working copies are copied,
not the server on which the repository resides, that causes the problem.

While perhaps true, that's not always practical, or even desireable.

It won't make any difference. The problem will still occur.
