(Dan, just a small thing: please don't top-post on this list, but put
your reply at the bottom or inline, thanks)

I thought I had tried this before, and couldn't reproduce it. But now
I tried again, and ... lo and behold:

[[[
C:\Temp\test>svnadmin create repos

C:\Temp\test>svn co file:///C:/temp/test/repos wc
Checked out revision 0.

C:\Temp\test>cd wc

C:\Temp\test\wc>echo test > foo.txt

C:\Temp\test\wc>svn add foo.txt
A foo.txt

C:\Temp\test\wc>svn ci -mm
Adding foo.txt
Transmitting file data .done
Committing transaction...
Committed revision 1.

C:\Temp\test\wc>svn rename C:\temp\test\wc\foo.txt bar.txt
svn: E155004: Run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks (type 'svn help
cleanup' for details)
svn: E155004: Working copy 'C:\Temp\test\wc' locked.
svn: E155004: 'C:\Temp\test\wc' is already locked.

C:\Temp\test\wc>svn rename C:\Temp\test\wc\foo.txt bar.txt
A bar.txt
D foo.txt
]]]

Can you spot the difference between the first (failed) attempt for the
rename, and the second (successful) one?

Right, if I specify a different "casing" for the SRC absolute path
("temp" instead of "Temp"), it fails like you said. If I use the exact
casing from the on-disk path, it succeeds. That's interesting :-), and
clearly a bug.

I've tried again with a trunk (1.10 under development) from a couple
of weeks ago, and it still fails:

[[[

So, thanks for finding and reporting this :-). I don't have time to
dig into this right now ... I hope someone else does.

Dan, if you feel like it, you're welcome to file an issue for this in
our issue tracker: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SVN/issues.
I guess this means you also have a workaround now: make sure you
specify the exact on-disk casing for those absolute paths.
