When I rename a module I use "svn copy", since "svn remove" doesn't pick up changes made to the "deleted" file. For example, here is what I did for PixMapWrapper:

svn copy ./Lib/plat-mac/PixMapWrapper.py ./Lib/plat-mac/pixmapwrapper.py edit ./Lib/plat-mac/PixMapWrapper.py svn commit It seems that I could avoid this error by using "cp" instead of "svn copy" (which I did use for renaming copyreg). However, I am not sure if this method doesn't preserve the full history of file. So, how should I do to fix the failing buildbots?

In any case, how does SVN on Windows handle this situation, having two identical filenames -- except for case -- in one directory?
