Case sensitivity bug in windows with powershell.

I searched the reports database but could not find this error reported.

Use a powershell shell and stand in the working copy:
PS c:\temp\WC> svn mkdir APA
PS c:\temp\WC> Set-LocationEx apa
PS c:\temp\WC\apa>svn mkdir banan
results in:
svn: E150000: Can't find parent directory's node while trying to add
'R:\products\PTI\ADAPTERS\SIRI\apa\banan'
svn: E155010: The node 'R:\products\PTI\ADAPTERS\SIRI\apa' was not found.

I don't really know how powershell/windows works when it comes to the
current directory, but Get-Location will say you are in "apa" after
the Set-LocationEx command, instead of the APA directory.

This confuses users not familiar with other operating systems.
