It comes up pretty often on the list. I'd sure appreciate a better
error message.
To ensure you don't get bit by it again, you can install the check-
case-insensitive pre-commit hook which comes in the Subversion source
distribution. 1.2.3 includes a Perl version, but the Python version
to be in 1.3.0 is supposedly much better so I'd recommend that.
