There is no bug, there is nothing in Subversion to "fix".

Windows filesystems are case-preserving, but not case-sensitive.
Subversion is case-sensitive. In Windows, a == A. In Subversion, a !=
A.

Rename one of the folders via the Repository Browser or command-line
(using repository URLs directly) so that you don't have a
case-insensitive name collision & checkout/update again.
