There's a very good Python script in the SVN repos at:

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts

It's called 'check-case-insensitive.py'. I don't think the Perl version in the
sam e folder is as good. (it uses calls to svnlook.exe, whereas the Python
version uses SVN bindings).

You should install that on the server, setup a pre-commit hook, and it will
prevent such commits.

Ideally SVN itself should stop this but it's not an issue on Unix, so there's
fat change of getting it fixed on windows!
