Re: case problems under Windows
You're running on Windows, so you can't do the case-renames in your
working copy, because the local filesystem is case-insensitive.
So, do the renames via URLs:
C:\> svn mv -m "Fix case problem." OLD_URL NEW_URL
C:\> svn mv -m "Fix case problem, step 2." OLD_URL NEW_URL
C:\> svn mv -m "Fix case problem, step 3." OLD_URL NEW_URL
etc, until you're done.

Re: case problems under Windows
Posted by Scott Yost <sy...@purdue.edu>.
Thanks all,
I was finally able to fix the problem by renaming the directory
away from its current name and then back again. After I renamed it away,
svn still showed me some ghosts of the MRT directory, but eventually they
went away. (no idea why)
I am just glad that my repository is happy again.
Thanks!
