Yes, that's to be expected. Linux file systems are generally
case-sensitive while Mac OS X's HFS+ file system is
case-insensitive-but-case-preserving (much like Windows' file system).
You cannot store option.v.exp and option.V.exp in the same directory in
an HFS+ file system. You must use case-sensitive HFS+ (only available
on Mac OS X Server) or UFS (Mac OS X Client or Server) if you want to
do that -- but you will have to reformat your disk to make this change,
and in particular UFS may cause problems for other aspects of Mac OS X
(specifically Classic will not work). Easier, though maybe a bit slower
and less convenient, would be to use Disk Utility to create a (sparse,
if you like) disk image and format it as UFS and use it for your
working copy(ies). Or you could install a second hard drive and format
it as UFS.
Or you could go a different way and make a policy that the files in the
repository must fit on a case-insensitive file system. There are
pre-commit hooks available (which have been discussed on this list
several times in the past month) which prevent people from committing
files that would violate this policy. Search the archives on
http://svn.haxx.se/ if you're interested in this option.
