Hello Patrick,

Thanks for your quick answer. I'm doing a checkout on a Linux box, so there is no problem with the case of files. Thanks for the tip anyway.

Apparently it seems that SVN commits causing issues are the ones where the svn property "eol-style" has been changed to native (because the repositories are shared between Windows and Linux clients). I tried to reproduce this in a clean repository but I did not succeed at exhibiting the problem.

Cheers, Reynald
