Actually the second problem is described in issue 1854 and resolved in
release 1.0.4. For the first problem I cannot find an issue, but I don't
expect there to be one either. With the first problem, you have a situation
like this:
/repos
|-- A
\-- a
under the repository there are two files with the same name differing only
in case. When checking out a repository like that, svn will bail *always*
out with the 'object of the same name already exists' error.
Because of the description you give, I get a feeling you don't have a
situation like that, but do get (sometimes) the error mentioned. Can you
describe the exact problem, investigate and describe the situation in which
this occurs? It sounds like a situation which should not be occurring.
bye,
Erik.
