I think you will have better luck with darcs get --hashed, which has
better handling of case insensitive file systems.  We'll need to work
out later why darcs 1 succeeds in this case.

Yes.  Petr's latest patches make darcs repair work, but will need to be
refactored to extend the new coverage to darcs check
