I have been doing some tests of this, and both Subversion command line and
TortoiseSVN error out on the checkout if there are any files or folders of
the same name as the checked out files.

That is why we work the way we do. There has been a patch floating around
the Subversion dev@ list to improve this. If the feature is added to
Subversion, then we could probably change this.
