I am trying to work on a project which contains files whose names only differ in case. 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) 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. http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/2084 This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
