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
This is funny. I think that I have renamed m4.pm to M4.pm around
revision 11350.
So it should be OK for fresh checkouts.
The funny thing is that I can do a 'svn mv' under Unix, which causes
troubles on
case-insensitive filesystems.
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.
This FAQ has more info:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#case-change
Somebody who can administrate the SVN server could take a look at this
script.
The FAQ does not really tell what it does. Mandating all lower case
filenames is no solution.
CU, Bernhard
