Hello,
I am trying to work on a project which contains files whose names
only differ in case.
Example: foobar.c FOOBAR.c
I ran into this problem when checking the source code out from
Subversion. My investigation of the problem indicates that the OS-X
filesystem is not case sensitive. (which I found odd for a UNIX
based system)
Right, HFS+ is case-preserving but case-insensitive:

Is there a way to work around this problem?
Use a case sensitive file system. Have a disk partition formatted as
UFS, or a UFS-formatted disk image and do your svn checkout there. I
don't think Disk Utility can create a UFS disk image, but hdiutil can.
