The error message is misleading. One does not expect an error
about *adding* a file when all you are doing is checking out. The
message should be something along the lines of: "WARNING: You checked
out file ABC but the following varients also exist: abc, aBc". And what
happens if files "ABC, abc, aBc" exist on the server but the win32
client tries checking out "AbC"? Which of the three with your checkout?
In such a case, I would suggest an error should occur: "ERROR: You
tried checking out file AbC but only the following varients exist: ABC,
abc, aBc".
