[PATCH] Demonstrate failure of 'core.ignorecase = true'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Peter J. Weisberg" <pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On a filesystem that *is* case-sensitive, renaming a file to a name
that would be equivalent on a case-insensitive filesystem makes Git
think the original file was deleted.  Add a test that demonstrates
this as a known error.
---
I have a repository that contains files that I sync from a place where
names are case-insensitive.  When I sync a file that has a change in
the case of the file name, I want Git to ignore that non-change.  I
would think core.ignorecase would accomplish this, but it does not.
