The reason for the 20-30 seconds wait is the Windows workaround for
stupid AV scanners which lock files. Subversion tries several times to
access it's own files and finally gives up.

Seems the error message is not very accurate here.

It's not just 'not easy' but impossible to check out that on a windows
machine.

Sure, there just can't be two files with the same name (differing in
case doesn't make the names different for windows).

You have to suggest that on the Subversion mailing list. That's not
TSVN's business but Subversions. Sorry to say that...
