This is an academic issue for me, but I thought I'd just pass it along.

Having downloaded the entire OSG repository (using the Tortoise SVN tool)
onto my home WinXP system, the tool hit a problem when it reached one of the
Xcode projects under the Tags (tagged releases) repository. I think this was
either the osgProducer_OpenSceneGraph_BranchPoint or
Producer_OpenSceneGraph_BranchPoint release, but I can't remember which - it
may have been another.

Anyhow, SVN gets itself confused because it downloads a filename in one case
and then gets asked to download the same filename with some letters in the
alternative (upper/ lower) case. This will work ok on case sensitive systems
(ie Linux and Apple) but not on case insensitive Windows, where both
filenames resolve to the same filename. The result is that Tortoise SVN
gives up reporting errors, because it can't create the second file and it
leaves things locked.

Obviously the lock issue is down to Tortoise, but the filename issue may
require resolution, or perhaps this email appearing in the archives may
suffice.

I'm a WinXP user but have just started a Linux project so get to see the
best and worst of both (let battle commence!!!)
