Both Windows and Mac OS X machines use case-insensitive filesystems
by default and would thus be susceptible to case collisions, so I
wouldn't rule it out yet.
Run "svn ls" on the URL to the nag directory and see if you see two
files whose names differ only in case, such as dashboard-OLD.php and
dashboard-old.php. If so, you can use "svn mv" or "svn rm" on the URL
of one of those files to fix it.
