+1. Simple and flexible. No new syntax that I will never be able to
remember, because months or years pass between each time I use it.

While not strictly 100% backwards compatible, I don't believe there's
any real compatility issue. Anyone having a setup where lowercase
means valuable source file, and uppercase means worthless build
byproduct (or vice versa), has bigger problems than Subversion can
solve.
