TSVN doesn't think it's marked for deletion, TSVN thinks (better: knows)
that the original folder is *missing*.

How should TSVN recognize this? You obviously have renamed a folder
without telling Subversion about this. Subversion is case sensitive -
renaming files/folders just in case might not be a big deal for you and
windows, but it is a real rename for Subversion.

Since Subversion is case sensitive, there's nothing we can do about
this. And for the future: make sure you *never*, *ever* rename versioned
items without the proper TSVN/Subversion command. Or you'll get into big
troubles later. Especially if you just rename them in case (try it out:
rename a file in case, commit - then wait for all your users to update).
