I have had a couple users report problems with their

They will get a

get a message stating the user JDoe has the file locked
when tortoise
currently thinks the username is jdoe. I am wondering
what conditions
windows reports the username as JDoe vs. jdoe? We do
have a server
setup with apache where we have remedied this using the
correct
properties. I am specifically looking for answers using
local, file
access.
Thanks,

I've noticed, that on Windows (at least XP) systems in which you
type a username at login, Windows KEEPS whatever case you type in at
login.
So, if you're user name is "myuser" and you type "MyUsEr", it's
legal and that's the way it's reported for that session.
I think this is a bug in Windows.
I first noticed this when I accidentally capitalized a letter
after and _ (which needs the shift key), and my authentications failed.
This affects all Subversion clients (not just TSVN)

It is a bug in the code that assumes usernames on Windows are case
sensitive, when in fact they are not.

David
