Case sensitivity and Windows

We just had (for the first time) an issue updating because of duplicate
files (different case) checked into source. This was a project I had not
updated from in a couple of weeks...

So finally after a couple of hours of blowing away directories and
checking out and updating and cleaning I finally spotted the bugger
(several actually).

I found this issue in the faq and posts. I am unclear however if this is
by design or is this going to eventually be handled by Case insensitive
installs? Or at least an error message that might indicate a little
clearer what has happened?

Thanks!

Get check-case-insensitive.pl from here http://svn.collab.net/viewcvs/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/

Instructions on how to set it up are at the top of the script.  It prevents addition of files which 
clash in a case insensitive file system.
