That's a feature we provide to avoid problems with the 
case-insensitivity on windows.

That's intended that way. Otherwise you could never fix case problems if 
they ever happen (e.g. if you use another svn client to commit, or if 
someone else already committed two files which differ only in case).

We can't simply ignore the case. Subversion is case-sensitive, and we 
have to deal with it.
