Tildes in filenames
Hey I'm having a weird problem and I'm not sure what's going on.
I've got a directory (VOC) and inside that directory we have files like
the following:
F1, F2, F3 etc... and f1~~, f2~~, f3~~ etc...
I tried importing these files into a fresh repository and they were
skipped. Does this have something to do with the tildes? Is this an
undocumented subversion feature?

If you're trying to avoid problems with the default Subversion global-
ignores configuration, you could use an underscore instead of a tilde.
f1_
or
f1__
Of course they're your files so you can use any convention you see fit.

I think the convention on this list is to bottom post (instead of top
post). My comment is below.

The ~ is only special at the end of the file name. So maybe put the ~
immediately before the capitalized character?
~f1 for F1, ~bla~h for BlaH?

We were having issues with Windows and its case-insensitive filenames.
Files were originally named:
F1, F2, F3, f1, f2, f3.
In order to make the lowercase filenames different and make the Windows
checkout work, we added ~~ to the end. Is there a better convention to
use?

I don't know why you've named your files ending with "~~" so I can't
suggest an alternative. However, if you want to name your files
ending with "~~", and don't want them to be ignored when importing,
simply remove "*~" from the global-ignores line in your Subversion
configuration file. You could even comment out the entire global-
ignores line so that nothing is ignored at all.

Is there another character or char sequence you would recommend instead
of ~~?

You have probably configured Subversion to ignore filenames ending in
tilde. Subversion is configured this way by default, because some
editors save backup files with filenames ending with tilde, and since
that's just a poor-man's version control, you wouldn't want to import
those into a real version control system like Subversion.
Look in ~/.subversion/config for the line starting with "global-
ignores". It probably contains something like "*~" which means
"ignore all files ending with tilde."

You have probably configured Subversion to ignore filenames ending in
tilde. Subversion is configured this way by default, because some
editors save backup files with filenames ending with tilde, and since
that's just a poor-man's version control, you wouldn't want to import
