SVN name conflict?

Someone thought it would be a great idea to give multiple files a name only differing by case.

For example:

/fonts/arial.swf
/fonts/Arial.swf
/fonts/hevetica.swf
/fonts/Hevetica.swf

This is no problem for Linux. However for Windows and OS X the repository won't synchronize.

Does anyone know to get around this, as currently I can't figure out how to successfully checkout the repository?

  1. You should better rename the file, for example file to file2.
  2. Do commit.
  3. After rename file2 to File and the conflict will be solved.

I guess you have to fix the repo. Some ideas...

1) Get list of files with "same" names from repo, with something like:

svn list <your-repository> | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | sort | uniq -d

And then either svn remove or svn rename the files and fix the repo.

2) try svn checkout --force or svn export --force, and cross fingers.
