That's not a bug, it's a feature of Subversion. You need to read the
subversion book.

No, can't be done. It sounds like an obvious solution, but remember that
a subversion repository can be accessed from multiple platforms. _Your_
system might be windows-only, but other users will have a repo which is
accessed from a mix of case-sensitive and case-insensitive systems. If
all Windows systems ignored the case, the repo would get messed up for
everyone else.

There is an article in the FAQ about renaming files:
