[TSVN] Bug with Windows / UNIX filenames

From: Adam Palmblad <adam_at_aers.ca>

I imported some code I had into a subversion repository from a shell,
and then when I tried to check it out with tortoise, I was unable to do
so. Tortoise failed during the checkout, and then told me to run
cleanup. Cleanup wouldn't work - I was completely unable to work with
the copy I had checked out. This was related to a specific folder -
every checkout was failing at the same point in time - so I removed the
folder and everything worked fine. I was curious, so I looked at what
was inside the folder, and the folder had two files with the same name,
differing only in capitalization. Removing the file allowed the
checkout to proceed normally.

    I know Windows can't support differences in filename capitalization
to differentiate between files, and don't believe having files with the
same name differing in only capitalization to be good practice, but I
would expect tortoise to fail gracefully.
