While doing an "svn update" from a Mac OS X box today, I got this error: svn: Failed to add file 'languages/m4/lib/Parrot/Test/M4.pm': object of the same name already exists The problem is that there are two files that differ only in case: m4/lib/Parrot/Test/M4.pm m4/lib/Parrot/Test/m4.pm These files are colliding, and one of them should be renamed or deleted. To prevent a repeat of this problem in the future, one solution is to use the check-case-insensitive.pl pre-commit hook script that is in the contrib directory of the subversion source.
