I am pretty sure that the user types in "myuser" or whatever the
username as all lower case and windows incorrectly reports the current
user as "MYuser". I think its Microsoft related and not Subversion or
TSVN, but figured I would post to see if anyone else has seen this or
knows how to fix it.
When using the file protocol how does TortoiseSVN get the username
from windows?
Thanks,
Mike
