It's an old problem, we had similar discussions about v1: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2002-02/0003.shtml In v1 "replace" is "delete" then "add", the server implements this and the clients rely on it. When the client is case-insensitive that makes some adds into replacements even though the server doesn't identify them as such. -- uberSVN: Apache Subversion Made Easy http://www.uberSVN.com
