Hmm, I have no idea why you would like me to try this patch - care to explain? [I just saw, "Has this been tested on cygwin?" and, since it has been happily passing for some time, responded yes!] Just for the giggles, I removed the !CYGWIN prerequisite from the test and when, as expected, the test failed, had a look around: $ pwd /home/ramsay/git/t/trash directory.t5601-clone $ cat icasefs/warning Cloning into 'bogus'... done. warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same colliding group is in the working tree: 'x' $ cd icasefs/bogus $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 ramsay None 0 Nov 19 22:40 x $ git ls-files --debug ignoring EOIE extension X ctime: 1542667201:664036600 mtime: 1542667201:663055400 dev: 2378432 ino: 324352 uid: 1001 gid: 513 size: 0 flags: 0 x ctime: 1542667201:665026800 mtime: 1542667201:665026800 dev: 2378432 ino: 324352 uid: 1001 gid: 513 size: 0 flags: 0 $ So, both X and x are in the index with the same inode number. Does that help? ATB, Ramsay Jones
