This is a huge topic, endlessly re-discussed. The problem is that SVN is
case-sensitive, and so has problems with file-systems which are not.

There is code in TSVN to try and help avoid this problem (are you all
running recent versions?), but if you mix difference clients (like the SVN
command line client), you might not get so much help.

There is also a pre-commit hook available which can be installed on the SVN
server to help with this. I don't know much about how it works, or what
its impact on performance is.

If you're all running recent versions of TSVN and still having case
problems, we'd be interested to see a detailed repro scenario.
