While I agree that windows does it differently here, I still think the
way TSVN does it is much better. I always missed the feature in
Windows where the confirmation dialog would also offer an option to
*rename* the file/folder automatically instead of just overwriting or
cancelling.

In this case here, I think I will be a little bit egoistic and will
keep it the way it is now. That's what I want it to work because it
works best for me. And it's not that this feature would break anything
or stop others from using it. It's basically either annoy some users
or annoy me - guess what I choose this time :)

Can you reproduce this? What's the folder layout? All folders from the
same working copy? Anything else I need to know to reproduce this?
