[Re-sending, as the Git mailing list seems to have decided to silently drop this patch, I cannot see it on public-inbox.org, at least] From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> On a case-insensitive filesystem, such as HFS+ or NTFS, it is possible that the idea Bash has of the current directory differs in case from what Git thinks it is. That's totally okay, though, and we should not expect otherwise. On Windows, for example, when you call cd C:\GIT-SDK-64 in a PowerShell and there exists a directory called `C:\git-sdk-64`, the current directory will be reported in all upper-case. Even in a Bash that you might call from that PowerShell. Git, however, will have normalized this via `GetFinalPathByHandle()`, and the expectation in t0001 that the recorded gitdir will match what `pwd` says will be violated. Let's address this by forcing the comparison to be case-insensitive when `core.ignoreCase` is `true`. Reported by Jameson Miller.
