git: cannot rename foo to Foo on a case-insensitive filesystem (e.g. on Windows)

["Reece Dunn" <msclrhd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Running the following:

    echo "hello" > foo
    git add foo && git commit -m "move test (1)"
    git mv foo Foo

using a case-insensitive filesystem (this was done running git 1.5.0.3
and git 1.5.1.3 on Windows using cygwin), I get the following error:

    fatal: destination exists, source=foo, destination=Foo

Are there any plans to support this on case-insensitive filesystems,
or is it going to remain broken?

Thanks,
- Reece
