You're checking out all branches on a case-insensitive filesystem (such as MacOS HFS+), and both Zend and ZEND are branch names. Check out a smaller subset (like only one branch, or only the trunk), or move to a case-sensitive filesystem (you can create a disk image on OS X) if you really want the 30GB full checkout of php-src with all its tags and branches for some reason.

Windows users generally won't have the option to create a case-sensitive filesystem. Can't we just rename one of those two branches to something more descriptive?

In theory we could, but in practice there's pretty much never a reason to check out both branches this way. Trying to do is usually the very time-consuming result of leaving off "trunk" or the branch name when trying to checkout a tree in SVN, since CVS users aren't used to the new layout of branches and tags as part of the filesystem. -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."
