No because the guy who added these may have done it on a case-sensitive filesystem. Only later when his friend fetches new changes on a case-insensitive filesytem, the problem becomes real. If in this scenario, core.ignore is enforced on all machines, then yes we could catch it at "git add" (and we should already do that or we have a bug). At least in open source project setting, I think enforcing core.ignore will not work. -- Duy
