Re: case insensitivity revisited

> (a) the svn client could treat foo.h and Foo.h the same.

I was hoping to get a response to this option. What if the svn client
had an option (perhaps a compile option) which would cause this to
never happen:

    enkidu% svn status
    ! Foo.h
    ? foo.h

I understand that depending on case-insensitivity is wrong. It
wouldn't happen if it were my code. But it's not my code; I'm porting
a relatively large existing code base. I plan to reformat my hard
disk with a case-sensitive (non-boot) partition, but I cannot do that
right now.

In the meantime, what would be the harm of an svn client option for
which the above 'svn status' reports no change? It would merely be a
stop-gap measure to help developers stay productive, and would be
advertised as such. It would not be the default behavior.
