I believe you. I am sure that this was discussed to death.
But I think you don't understand me well. Sure svn should preserve case of
files it stores, but certain operations should be done on windows without
the case sensitivity. Just a small sample. When you/svn matches file, it
matches it case sensitive, but imagine what happens when you call
DeleteFile(). Do you really code it like this: usedFirstFile/FindNextFile
API to get the file name with the case stored in filesystem and only if case
matches call DeleteFile()? Then I feel that some parts of svn are case
sensitive and some are not.
Stefan, if you feel tired with this topic, simply don't respond.
