I generally wouldn't check these in. Only when making a
release, I'd add the results of unittests and the final
executable to the repository, for normal development this
generates too many secondary changes for my taste.
However, that is not what you asked about...

Yes, Subversion tries to retrieve the newly added file and
store it locally only to find another such file already
exists there. It won't overwrite this file in order not to
destroy any work you did on it.

Different suffix means different name, which means two
different and independant files for Subversion. Further,
even the case matters, fou.cs is something different than
fou.CS for Subversion.

Probably a user error, sorry. Anyhow, Subversion doesn't
destray any work unless explicitly told to and even then
only locally and never in the repository. So, everything
that was once put into the repository can still be
retrieved from it - after all that is what version control
is for (being a time machine according to the book).
