+1 I'm on holiday right now, so only following from a distance... To give a quick idea of what's changed concretely: it's really only about "svn mv A a", which would yield "svn: Cannot move path 'A' into itself" in 1.6, and now just does the right thing. It works for both files and directories. This is issue 3702 [1]. Additionally, issue 3865 [2] was fixed to make this more useful, because otherwise all other subcommands could not "reach" the deleted part of the move, because case-normalization took over (hence this was needed to be able to commit the move in full). I don't have time to contribute for the release notes or anything, so if someone else can pick this up ... that would be nice. -- Johan [1] http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3702 (Unable to perform case-only rename on windows) [2] http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3865 ('svn' on Windows cannot address scheduled-for-delete file, if another file differing only in case is present on disk)
