There is a defect in most file systems used by *nix operating systems
that erroneously treats files with exactly the same name as completely
separate entities if they differ in case. Windows file systems
implement the rational model, ignoring case, but unfortunately, it's the
user who has to make sure he doesn't get caught.

You can:

A: Never check that directory out to a working copy on a Windows file
system.
B: Rename the file(s) in the repository so that they are actually named
something different, if you intended them to be different files.
C: Delete one of the files in the repository so that there isn't any
conflict.
