Are either of these crimes that could be prevented by SVN pre-commit rules?
Definitely. There are already some user-contributed hook scripts that ship with the Subversion sources that do even more complex checks than this, like one that "normalizes" all filenames to lowecase and looks for conflicts (e.g. README and ReadMe in the same directory would be disallowed). I am sure writing a simple check like filename.lower() == filename or filename.length() < N should be pretty simple. Attached is my simplistic attempt at this, adapted from the skeleton pre-commit-check Python script that ships with the Subversion sources. Not sure what the correct maximum filename limit is - I chose 32. -- Caleb Epstein
