I disagree; Subversion should learn how to handle case-only differences
on case-insensitive file systems. The fact that this also happens to be
the ugliest part of filesytem programming (IMNSHO) doesn't help, of course.

But this is not something that will happen for 1.0, because it requires
a fairly major change in WC management. And after all, we do have a
workaround.
