Hm, this thought may be incorrect (or at least "unexpected" for
windows users). In fact, if we look at how the native "move" behaves,
it never case-normalizes the target path:
[[[
C:\Temp>dir /B test
TODO
C:\Temp>echo anothertest > bla
C:\Temp>move bla test\toDO
Overwrite C:\Temp\test\toDO? (Yes/No/All): y
1 file(s) moved.
C:\Temp>dir /B test
toDO
C:\Temp>type test\todo
anothertest
]]]
So it seems that, if we want "svn mv" to behave more like "move" on
Windows, the target path should never be normalized to the on-disk
casing. Just use it as is ...
