Subversion 403 forbidden error

Are you getting a “403 forbidden” error when trying to create a folder or check code into subversion, but you can browse the repo?

There are many causes for this, but one of them that’s very difficult to find is caused by the casing of the URL.  When you check out from subversion, you can use any casing.  When you check IN, you’d better be using the ExAcT casing.  And don’t think that just because you’re using a GUI like TortoiseSVN that it does it for you.  IT DOES NOT!
