Re: Renaming files on win32

Hi,

        Thomas Börkel <tbo@ap-ag.com> just mentioned yet another
usecase where file renaming causes problems under win32. Please read...

HI!

A Windows case-insensitivity problem:
A user inputs a filename of a versioned file into a file generating
tool (in
our case: a tool that generates HTML files). He writes the filename
with
wrong case. The tool regenerates the file with the wrong case. Now you
cannot commit the file, because with this name, it's unversioned.

Workaround:
The tool has to scan the directory to find the right case for the
filename
before generating it.

For Windows users, it would be really helpful, if it would be possible
to
enable case-insensitivity in Subversion. This should apply to almost
all
operations, I think.

I know, this is not a new issue, but maybe at least the above problem
hasn't
been mentioned, yet.

So, what's the status about case-insensitivity in Subversion? Is there
an
issue in the tracker (I didn't find one, despite some minor
case-problems),
that one could vote for?

Thanks!

Thomas
