Sorry darcs is causing you so much grief, Simon.

Short answer
------------
Please use darcs get --hashed to fetch this repository.
I can confirm that getting without the hashed option breaks on Mac and
that getting it with hashed works.

Long answer
-----------
This error is caused by having a file called 'stackTransitions.pdf' and
'StackTransitions.pdf' in the same repository.

Thankfully, this issue has been resolved since the early days of darcs 2
if not during the darcs 2 release itself.  The solution was the use of
these "hashed" repositories.

More on this in a later message.
