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?
It's going to remain in the state it is, although I disagree that that
state is broken. Adding case-sensitivity to a content tracker on a
case-insensitive file system would be quite a lot of work for a very
small gain.
As usual, should you present some small and elegant piece of code that
makes git capable of dealing with this while running with no slowdown
at all on sane systems, I'm sure it'd be accepted, or at least very
thoroughly discussed by the heavy names on the list.
Without the code, it's just an ugly can of worms that nobody wants to
open.
