Are there two files filename.jpg whose names differ only in case,
e.g. filename.jpg and filename.JPG? If so, only one of those can
exist on a case-insensitive filesystem like you probably have. You
can use "svn ls" on that directory's repository URL to determine if
this is the problem. If so, you can use "svn mv" to rename one of
them (again by URL) so the name does not clash, or you can use "svn
rm" (by URL) to remove one of them.
