Your problem is caused by the fact that the subversion repository is case sensitive, some file systems are case insensitive. One such file system is NTFS, the file system of Windows Vista.

Given the screenshots you sent of your repository layout there is no way to checkout the terminfo directory to a case insensitive file system. How you handle this going forward depends on your requirements/environment. You can use the svn rename command to rename the A (or a) directory directly on the repository.
