This script was written to stop two independent users from adding the same file but with different
case. My understanding is that you are doing this:

  1. Add and commit Second.txt
  2. Delete Second.txt from your working copy
  3. Add second.txt
  4. Commit

My case script works correctly at stage 4, it prevents you from adding the file. The root of your
problem is that at stage 3 the svn client has allowed you to add a file with differing case to your
working copy - there's not a lot the server pre-commit script can do about that.

I am pretty sure this issue describes your problem:

   http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=667

At least you can checkout and start again, without the server side script you would have had both
files in the repository and would have had to delete one of them by URL before you could continue.

I hope that helps.
