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).

Assuming this is NTFS, notice that it is not the file system that is case-folding, but the API. If you pass FILE_FLAGS_POSIX_SEMANTICS to the API, you can get case-sensitive behavior (to some degree, as there are bugs in that API, as well).

Regards, Martin
