Cleanup aborts in workspace after filename case problem

Hello,

I have been bitten by the uppercase/lowercase filename conflict
issue on Windows (as mentioned in http://tortoisesvn.net/node/167).
Well, I repaired the problem in the repository with an svn mv from a
Unix box, there is no conflict in HEAD any more.

But when I want to cleanup the Windows workspace now, I get still
lots of errors "Can't copy 'XXX.svn-base' to 'XXX.tmp': The system
cannot find the file specified" -- but this time for a different
file. The file in question is in the same directory, but not
involved in the filename conflict.

Obviously the filename conflict caused a corruption of some
directories in .svn/, and this corruption cannot be resolved by the
cleanup action. It maybe the subdirectory .svn/tmp/text-base/ where
the issue is. I tried to empty the subdirectories under tmp/
manually, but that doesn't help.

IMO it's a bug that a SVN operation leaves a workspace so corrupt
that cleanup doesn't work any more.

This is with TortoiseSVN 1.3.3. I checked the ChangeLog, but the
issue does not seem to be resolved with 1.4. If I'm wrong with this,
I would love to get corrected. (An upgrade to 1.4 would be a bigger
affair, as the workstation format update has to be tested for our
projects and installation must be coordinated for all developer
workstations; so I tried to skip that for testing.)

Is this actually the right audience to address the problem? I.e.,
is this problem Windows-specific, or is it a general problem and I
must go to the Subversion folks?

Thanks in advance for any answer,

        Joachim
