Which version of mercurial are you using? I know that versions prior 1.0 had some bug with handling case-changes on case-insensitive filesystems.

1.0. There are still case folding bugs in 1.0 - I'm working on fixing them. But there will never be a complete fix for this situation, as it's simply not possible to checkout the exact svn layout of that revision on a case-folding system, it simply can't be supported (without name mangling of files in the working directory).

As I said, it's no big deal, just something people working on case-sensitive systems need to watch out for when interoperation with case-insensitive systems is important.

Paul.
