===== Subversion: Problems with case-insensitive filesystems =====

We had some problems checking out a subversion repository containing a 6.x version of [[http://drupal.org/|Drupal]] and its [[http://drupal.org/project/fpss|Frontpage Slideshow Plugin]] on Windows. On Linux, everything works fine.

  Error   Can't open file
  Error   ... htdocs\main\sites\all\modules\fpss\fpss\.svn\tmp\text-base\readme.txt.svn-base
  Error   Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden
  Error   No such file or directory

Yes, we have a ''"README.TXT"'' **and** a ''"readme.txt"'' in that same directory (it was our fault!) and checking out on windows! So:

  ... htdocs/main/sites/all/modules/fpss/fpss$ svn mv README.TXT readme_drupal.txt
  ... htdocs/main/sites/all/modules/fpss/fpss$ svn commit
