I don't really understand the question, but...
The repository is case-sensitive regardless of whether it's on a case-
sensitive filesystem or not and regardless of what OS it's being
served on.
It's the client's filesystem that's relevant. If you have a directory
in your repository containing two files whose names differ only by
case (and you do: you have a directory with the files MAKEFILE and
Makefile), then you cannot check that out onto a client whose
filesystem is case-insensitive. The default filesystem on Windows and
Mac OS X are case-insensitive, so you cannot check it out there,
unless you get access to a case-sensitive filesystem on those
machines. For example, on Mac OS X, you could create a case-sensitive
disk image and check out to that disk image. I don't know if there's
an equivalent procedure on Windows. The default filesystem on most
UNIX-like operating systems is case-sensitive, so there's no problem
checking out your directory to most UNIX (Linux, FreeBSD, etc.)
machines.
If you want to be able to check out and use this repository directory
on a client whose filesystem is case-insensitive (most Macs, most
Windows machines), then you should rename one of the makefiles to a
name that differs in more than just case.
