It's not a bug, it's a feature. Really.

That's because subversion is case-sensitive and mycpp.cpp and MyCpp.cpp can
both exist in a repo, but windows is case-insensitive and thinks that
they're the same thing.
This is 'One Of Those Things' about life with windows.
There's been a lot of discussion about this, but it isn't likely to change -
subversion is multi-platform and tsvn has to work with that.
