The correct solution to this is to prevent these file name collisions
from happening in the first place. Install case-insensitive.py in your
repository as a pre-commit hook script.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/case-insensitive.py
Subversion, like every sane filesystem, is case-sensitive. So to
Subversion, those filenames truly are different. It's only on Windows
and MacOS (when using the default HFS+ setup) that this conflict
occurs.
