Is it possible to force SVN to ignore changes in case of a character?

Question

We have a VB6 application in the SVN repository, and VB6 has the annoying habit of globally changing the case of characters of identical identifiers, thereby creating a lot of pseudoconflicts.

Is it possible to force SVN to ignore such changes?

We also have Java projects, so it should be a setting for each repository.

Answer 1

You can use the SVN external demarcation tool to do differences and merges that can ignore spaces. For example, the diff command on Unix has the -ignore-case option to ignore case.
