I'm probably not the only person who has had to deal with this, and I
probably won't be the last. Are there plans for a better solution to this
problem in future versions of svn? "Better" being defined as "Easier for the
end user" in this case. It's unlikely that the correct solution is viable
(fixing the non-case-sensitive OS and filesystem).
