case-sensitivity issue in TortoiseSVN 1.4.5

Hi,

I believe I've found a problem with filename case-sensitivity in the latest
release of TortoiseSVN.

version: 1.4.5
OS: Windows 2003 x64, Windows XP

Steps to reproduce:

1. Take any file that is already in a repository and has been checked out.
2. Change the name of the file such that it has the same name but uses a
different case for one or more characters.
  e.g. rename test.txt to Test.txt
3. The file will no longer have the green check mark icon overlay. It will
not have any overlay at all.
  This is the first problem.
4. Right click on the file and select TortoiseSVN|Add...
5. Commit the file to the repository.
6. Open the repository browser. Both files will show up (test.txt and
Test.txt). I understand this is not a problem.
7. Checkout the file into another directory. It will fail with an error
about copying files.

Thank You,
Ferruccio Barletta
