What problem are you asking to be solved? SVN being case-sensitive is
not a problem - that Windows isn't case-sensitive is the true problem.
SVN won't become case-insensitive, I don't even see it being made an
option in the future. Too much chance for problems.
The real solution is to simply not introduce this case-clash if any
client will be on Windows. There is a hook script floating around
that will check for this condition (2 files with the same name,
different case) and alert you at commit time. I think it's called
check-caseinsensitive.py or something to that effect.
