I have a customer who delivered to us some data files. The customer works mainly on Linux, and there are some file names that differ only in case (upper/lower), e.g. R40 and r40 in the same folder. I've added them to my repository via a Linux machine, but now when I'm working with the repository on Windows, it says several of the files are missing, since Windows is case-insensitive for file names, and it can't have both R40 and r40 in the folder at the same time. This is preventing me from doing some SVN actions, like starting a merge. Obviously, I can't just change the names of their files and have their software still work, but we don't need the files when we're working on Windows.
Is there a way to get around this, while still having the customer's files in the repository for Linux checkouts? We just want them in the repository for convenience's sake.
