That was it! I should have guessed - it's bitten me before. [*] The workaround - again this is on Mac OS X - is to use Disk Utility to create a big enough disk image file, then after it has been initialized, reformat it with a case-sensitive filesystem. One has the choice of the Unix Filesystem or case-sensitive HFS+. HFS+ is case-insensitive by default; I think the case-sensitive option is only available in recent OS X versions. I was able to do a full Subversion checkout onto the case-sensitive disk-image filesystem without any further trouble. > I squashed some of these > bugs some time ago, but I never got around fixing all of them. :-( Given that Mac OS X draws heavily on FreeBSD, and OS X' filesystem is case-insensitive by default, would it be helpful if I tracked them all down and submitted patches that would fix them all? It shouldn't be hard to write a script that detects files and directories whose names differ only in case. [*] libwww-perl installs a program called /usr/bin/HEAD that clobbers /usr/bin/head on Mac OS X. Hilarity will ensue months or even years later when some arcane build script tries to use head but gets HEAD's behavior instead.
