Subject: .backup files in SVN and case conflicts


Hi.

I just removed (in r1251) two files, GRAMClient.java.backup and 
GramClient.java.backup from falkon/monitor/org/globus/GenericPortal/common

Two files with the same name modulo case breaks checkouts on case 
sensitive filesystems.

I notice you added these in your recent round of commits. You shouldn't 
put backup files in version control - the version control *is* the backup. 
You can retrieve any arbitrary previous revision of any file from the 
command line or from the web UI.
