TSVN could probably be modified to do this, but it's not a good
solution (IMO). If you truly need the inter-OS dependency, just use a
pre commit hook script on the server to check filenames and dis-allow
commits that violate your os-independence rules. You'd, of course,
have to 'svn rename' any current violators first. This assumes you
have control over the server, if not, I guess you'd be out of luck.
It's also possible that the new TSVN scripts could do it, but I don't
know anything about them.
