Problems with case-sensitive renaming under windows

Hello

A collegue of mine has experienced a problem with case-sensitive
renaming under windows, that is, renaming "foobar" into "Foobar" for
example.

I was not able to reproduce the bug for I got this :

bash-2.04$ svn mv wc.png Wc.png
svn: Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: cannot move path 'wc.png' into itself
bash-2.04$

using svn-0.17.1 on a win98, FAT32.

This seems like a "normal" behavior to me, because of windows' stupid
(IMHO) way of being case-insensitive.

My friend however, got the usual

  D wc.png
  A Wc.png

output, but svn had simply deleted the file, so there was no wc.png
and no Wc.png file in his WC.

He is running svn-0.17.1 on winXP.

I don't know which behavior is expected, but the second sounds rather
odd anyway ...

Thank you !

PS: I was not able to test with svn-0.18.1 because of the bug
mentioned in the 'Diff problem in 0.18 win32 release?' thread ...
