... change the case of a filename

Subversion is designed to work with case-sensitive file systems such as are used on Linux. When it comes to the Windows case-insensitive file system, things do not always run as you might expect. A case in point is renaming a file where only the case changes, eg. renaming Makefile to MAKEFILE. You cannot do this easily within your working copy as Subversion requires both names to exist simultaneously for a short time, and Windows cannot support this.

By far the easiest way is to rename directly using the repository browser:

  1. Commit the changes in your working copy.
  2. Rename the file from UPPERcase to upperCASE directly in the repository using the repository browser.
  3. Update your working copy.
