So

# svn mv foo FOO
# svn ci

works and I would assume that

# svn rm foo
# svn cp bar FOO
# svn ci

also works. But

# svn rm foo
# svn add FOO
# svn ci

doesn't work. Probably not been tested before on Windows. To me it
looks like it should be possible to make the code handle that, but
perhaps the case-rename stuff relies on the copyfrom flags.
