Re: case sensitive issue when checking out specific revision numbers?

hi,

after some further investigation (and more by luck than judgement) i
have discovered the real issue. issue may be a harsh word in this
case since i don't think that what happens is too unreasonable.

what i realised was that with the version checked out using the
subversion command line client is that the repository name had
changed.

so version 80's repository path is:
  svn://software/sdt/SysDesTool/trunk

rather than the heads repository path:
  svn://software/sdt/SDT/trunk

whilst the command line client was able to realise this and check the
project out (albeit with all the \.svn\entries files having this in
url="svn://software/sdt/SysDesTool/trunk"), tortoiseSVN just wouldn't
let me (giving the error message shown in the first email).

sorry to point down the wrong path earlier. maybe tortoiseSVN should
warn the user that the repository path had changed between the version
requested and the head, but still allow the user to check it out?
just my opinion.

thanks for a very useful piece of software though, and if you have any
comments on how i could of discovered this using tortoise alone i
would be grateful.

thanks,
stewart
