RE: Rename in case mixes up working copy

Hi Markus,

I think the problem is Windows here. By default Windows does not differentiate between cases for supporting all kinds of applications.

Same problem appears if you try to copy two files OneFile and oneFile from Linux FTP-server to Windows. It does not work as Windows think is the same file.

Best regards
Niels

Subject: BUG: Rename in case mixes up working copy

Hi,

On Windows using TSVN 1.9.7:

When I rename a folder in case only, e.g. "someFolder" to "SomeFolder" using the TSVN Rename functionality, everythings looks fine so far. After I commit the change, it seems like the renamed folder is no longer recognized, i.e. there is no overlay icon displayed. If I then run an TSVN Update, the folder is shown as if it is not checked in to SVN (blue questionmark overlay icon).

Same happens if I directly do the rename within the Repo-Browser and do an TSVN Update afterwards.
It seems like the case change mixes up the working copy.

This means all users having a checkout and doing a TSVN Update after someone else has renamed a file in case, it will mix up their working copies!

To make the working copy recognize the folder correctly again, I have to delete the folder (no TSVN Delete but normal folder deletion) and do an TSVN Update.

PS: Tried it on a new repo and a fresh checkout.

Kindly fix this.
Many thanks!
Markus
