RE: Case-sensitivity and Windows

BTW, I also noticed that 'svn log' ignores case on Windows, even though none
of the other commands seem to. Makes it hard to reconstruct history when
recovering from something like this.

Granted, but if we're deliberately not handling them can we document
fixes/workarounds for the ones we are aware of? That way those of us using
a fringe OS like Windows at least know what's going on. It took me the
entire weekend to figure out why I was getting an 'update obstructed',
especially I had upgraded to 0.24.2 the day before. And now I have coax our
web person into trusting our source control again.
