When I check out a tree from the repository, one directory within the tree behaves odd: some files within this directory were successfully checked out while some files never came down. They all are *.h files. Right now, if I run "svn st", there are a bunch of '!' and file names. Those files do exist inside the repository, as I have checked by the command "svn ls /path/to/repo/thisOddDir/abc.h" (suppose abc.h is one of those files failed to be checked out). I ran many times "svn update" and nothing changes.

Windows uses a case insensitive file system, whereas Linux uses a case sensitive file system. Most likely, you have files and/or directories that are spelled differently only in capitalization.

If you perform "svn list" from within the working copy, you should be able to inspect the output for any objects that might differ only in case.
