Case sensitivity

I am a novice user of bzr using bzr 1.16.1.  I am doing development work on 
a bunch of files from a StarTeam repository.  I want to use bzr to keep 
track of my local changes and history.

However, I am running into a problem with filename case sensitivity.  The 
filenames from StarTeam are not uniform, their case usage is all over the 
map.  I have ended up with two files in the bzr repository that differ only 
in case usage.

How can I manage this situation with bzr?  Is there some configuration 
setting that will cause bzr to ignore and preserve case usage?  How can I 
repair the bzr repository so that itemmain.pas and ITEMMAIN.PAS share the 
same history?

I have already done some google searches on the subject but have no joy.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
