Sure, because for Subversion, that's *not* the same file. (which is what
we've mentioned now *several* times).

And you can configure Windows so that NTFS considers those also separate
files.

What makes you think that this is the correct case? That is simply the
case of a file as it is versioned now, but maybe not the case of the
file you like to have.

Yes, that's where TSVN corrects the case of files for common operations.

Sorry, that would be a waste of time. I will definitely *not* accept
such a patch. For reasons I have also mentioned before:

Sometimes it is necessary to rename a file only in case. If we would
'correct' the case when doing adds, that would not be possible anymore.
We would prevent the user from doing something that's wanted/required.

My advice: fix your script which you use to call TortoiseProc instead.
