Do you have two items in this directory whose names differ only in
case? For example, "NETWORK" and "Network"? If so, then that can only
function on a case-sensitive file system like the ones you usually
get on Linux and most other Unix-like operating systems, and on Mac
OS X with case-sensitive Mac OS Extended and UFS, but not on normal
Mac OS Extended nor on the file systems you usually see on Windows
operating systems.

$ cd /tmp
$ svnadmin create repo
$ svn co file:///tmp/repo wc1

$ svn co file:///tmp/repo wc2
Checked out revision 0.
$ cd wc1
$ touch NETWORK
$ svn add NETWORK
A NETWORK
$ svn ci -m "Adding NETWORK"

$ cd ../wc2
$ touch Network
$ svn add Network

$ svn ci -m "Adding Network"

$ cd ..

The above is expected for a case-insensitive file system. If I had
wanted to prevent items whose names differs only in case from that of
an existing item from being committed, I would have used a pre-commit
hook script provided in the contrib directory of the Subversion
source distribution which exists for this purpose.
