Revision 63129 is not valid on case folding filesystems. In particular, this horribly breaks using hg-svn to make a local mirror of the Python repository:

\Apps\HGsvn\hgimportsvn.exe -r 63120 http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk foo cd foo \apps\hgsvn\hgpullsvn hg log Lib\socketserver.py changeset: 2:e8856fdf9300 branch: trunk tag: svn.63129 user: alexandre.vassalotti date: Mon May 12 02:37:10 2008 +0100 summary: [svn] Renamed SocketServer to 'socketserver'.

hg up -r2 abort: case-folding collision between Lib/socketserver.py and Lib/SocketServer.py

hg up -rtip abort: case-folding collision between Lib/socketserver.py and Lib/SocketServer.py

The hg repository is now totally broken.

I'm not sure there is a fix for this, short of going back and manually fixing the history (and I don't know if this is possible at all using Subversion).

I know it's a rare situation, but can people PLEASE be careful not to introduce case issues like this - they pollute history for ever (I still hit problems with some of the case funkiness in svn from the early 1990's!!!)

Bazaar seems to be OK (ish) with this - it picks just one version to show. Paul.
