Hm, I don't see this problem with "cd" in cmd.exe. The cd command does automatically use on the correct casing of the directory: [[[ C:\Temp\svntest>svn --version -q 1.7.7-SlikSvn-1.7.7-X64 C:\Temp\svntest>svnadmin create repos C:\Temp\svntest>svn co file:///C:/Temp/svntest/repos wc Checked out revision 0. C:\Temp\svntest>cd wc C:\Temp\svntest\wc>svn mkdir APA A APA C:\Temp\svntest\wc>cd apa C:\Temp\svntest\wc\APA>svn mkdir banan A banan ]]] You see that the last prompt correctly shows APA, the exact casing like it is on disk, even though I asked Windows to cd into apa. That looks like the correct behavior of Windows (case-insensitive, but case-preserving (so showing/using the known casing wherever it is used)). So IMO the problem is with the Set-LocationEx call that you do (or the Windows implementation thereof). It seems to me that Windows should be consistent and cd you into the correctly cased directory (whichever case you ask for). Alternatively, maybe Set-LocationEx is documented as showing this rather strange behavior (in that case, you should not use it, or you should make sure yourself that the case you ask for is correct before you call Set-LocationEx). -- Johan
