Thank you so much for the reply. It *does* have to do with
capitalization. I never would have guessed that. If I cd into
directories and always use the correct case, the commands work fine
every time. If I cd into a path using the incorrect case, I of course
am able to cd but then svn doesn't return the correct results.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix this behavour in Subversion
as opposed to working around them in TortoiseSVN?
