Well, yes, except 'svn add', 'svn st', etc. do NOT work this way.

c:\source>ls
logotext.jpg

c:\source>ren logotext.jpg foo.jpg
c:\source>ren foo.jpg logoText.jpg
c:\source>svn st
! logotext.jpg
? logoText.jpg

While I would prefer it to work as expected under Windows, I care more that
everything is consistent. I burned an entire weekend on this and am a bit
out of sorts right now.
