Problem with capital file extensions when using the autoprops feature in the svn config file

[er...@etas.com]

Hi, everyone,

I'm using SVN 1.4.5 on Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 with Apache 2.2.8. 
Client-side I'm running Win XP SP2 with TortoiseSVN 1.4.7, Build 11792.
In my SVN config file I've got the following lines:

...
enable-auto-props = yes
...
[auto-props]
...
*.jpg = svn:needs-lock=true;svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
*.JPG = svn:needs-lock=true;svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
...

If I add example1.jpg in TortoiseSVN everything works great. However, if I 
add example2.JPG the autoprops are not applied, i.e. example2.JPG ends up 
with svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream and svn:needs-lock NOT set.

If I configure my settings file like this, i.e. I switch the order of both 
lines:
*.JPG = svn:needs-lock=true;svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
*.jpg = svn:needs-lock=true;svn:mime-type=image/jpeg

then only example2.JPG gets the correct props set, but example1.jpg 
doesn't. I can reproduce that with other extensions (doc/DOC) as well.
I think that the entries in the config file should either both be 
recognized or it should be case-insensitive. The way it is right now only 
all lower-case or all upper-case works, which is not sufficient.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot,
Erik

This is a bug:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2036

Workarounds are listed there. Also it looks like this was fixed a few  
weeks ago, so you can either run trunk or wait until Subversion 1.6.0  
is released.
