Description
Files (and directories) can't be loaded when hosting Mercurial repositories in WinXP using LightTPD (versions 1.4.13 to 1.4.23-1 Win32-SSL versions tested) if they contain capital letters. Lower case names work ok. Same problem does not occur in Linux version 1.3.19 (ssl). This is possibly related to file/dir name case folding, e.g. File1.txt->file1.txt (full trace attached):

Correct Linux version is 1.4.19 (ssl)

Module response.c (1.4.23) lines 412-418 seem to cause this:
/* MacOS X and Windows can't distiguish between upper and lower-case
*
* convert to lower-case
*/
if (con->conf.force_lowercase_filenames) {
buffer_to_lower(con->physical.rel_path);
}
However, adding conf option
server.force-lowercase-filenames = "disable"
didn't seem to disable this feature.

It looks like removing the quoted response.c lines fix the problem (v.1.4.13 tested as there are some Cygwin build problems with 1.4.23 (/w Cygwin version 1005.25.0.0/1.5.25-15).
This might cause some other issues, so this is by no means a proper fix.

- Target version set to 1.4.24
I am seeing the exact same problem. It would be nice if when server.force-lowercase-filenames was set to "disable" NO filenames would be forced to lowercase. While this might present a security issue, it would be an acceptable fix.
