svn troubleshooting: Can't open file ...\.svn\tmp\text-base\catalog.xml.svn-base':

When a Netbeans composite application is developped in linux (specifically open suse) environment, 2 catalog files are created under project directory: catalog.xml and Catalog.xml files. Linux file system is case sensitive, so this is not a problem here.. Then the project is comitted to svn. The situation is ok till here. However, when this project is checked out on a windows environment(windows xp specifically), the following error is given since windows file system is case insensitive:

Can't open file 'C:\htarakci\projects\.svn\tmp\text-base\catalog.xml.svn-base':

here is a related post: http://publicobject.com/2007/04/subversion-and-case-insensitive_15.html

So, note to myself, be careful about this!
