Fix git mv to not assert when src is already in the index under a different casing, core.caseInsensitive=true, and the file system is case insensitive. Since 9b906af657 the check that git mv does to ensure the src is in the cache respects caseInsensitive. As a result git mv allows a move from a file that has a different case in the index than it does on disk. After the rename on disk, git mv fails to find the file in the cache in order to rename it in the index, and asserts. Assertion failed: pos >= 0, file builtin/mv.c, line 295 This is the simplest possible fix, suggested by @tboegi. It does leave the file renamed on disk, but that is easy to reverse after the error. Another option would be to change the aforementioned check to always be case sensitive, but I am not sure whether there is a scenario where it is useful to be insensitive.
