Please delete the file:
ctools_plugin_example/help/Chaos-Tools--Ctools--Plugin-Examples.html

in favor of the existing file with name CTools--...

The case-collision of these two files blows up subversion on the Mac and Windows. Quite annoying:

 svn update -r 845
svn: Failed to add file 'ctools_plugin_example/help/Chaos-Tools--Ctools--Plugin-Examples.html': an unversioned file of the same name already exists

It's already deleted in CVS. You may have to delete it manually from your system.

Title: Additional bogus help file causes svn failures on Mac, probably windows » Additional bogus help file causes svn failures on Mac and Windows

Yes, I see this was removed in http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=254510, just shortly after the 1.0 release.

For anybody that runs into this problem:

The bogus file is in the CTools 6.x-1.0 release, and could haunt you in the future if you don't get it out of there. You need to delete it, and subversion will start working for you again.

I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but...

1. Check out your tree on a linux/Unix machine
2. ctools_plugin_example/help/Chaos-Tools--Ctools--Plugin-Examples.html
3. svn commit -m "..."
4. Go back to your mac
5. svn cleanup
6. svn update

Such an ugly set of results for such a simple issue.

I apologize for having leaked the file from my own Ctools->CTools cleanup efforts.

It's ironic that I would be the (possibly) first one haunted by this - had to help a colleague with it for an hour or more before we figured it out.
