Others already answered on the general thing, but there's one detail missing:
It's not Linux which can differ files by just their case but it's Subversion.
The point is that if the Subversion repository was located on a win32 machine
and the server is running there, too, the problem would occur.

The behaviour of Subversion's filesystem does not change with the behaviour of
its host's filesystem.
