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.

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.
