Thanks Simon for your response
I guess I did not make myself clear, let me rephrase this issue
Files (already versioned) can be added with the incorrect case
and then committed.
In the scenario, I used as an example the file build.txt that is on
the root of the TSVN repository, if in somehow the case changes
that file can be added and later committed.
There is an event that triggers TSVN to silently change the
case of versioned files, for sure the command "repostatus" or
[Check for Modifications] corrects the case of all files on the
given path.
I believe that doing something similar or the same that is
done for "repostatus" can be done before a file is added
preventing files from been added with the wrong case

That's correct. It is well known that Subversion is case-sensitive.
That fact that Windows is not does not make this a bug.

Also correct. If you change the case of a file which is already
versioned, TSVN will silently change it back again. Obviously it can
only do that of the file is already versioned.

Well of course. How would TSVN know that you used the wrong case if
it's a new addition? The only possible way would be to check every
file against the repository, and of you add a large tree that would
take a *very* long time. Better to do that server side and add a
pre-commit hook which rejects additions of files which cause case
conflicts.
