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.
Except that those file systems are case-insensitive, but
case-preserving. This means that "mv foo Foo" makes sense, and some
tools actually support this operation (if "mv" doesn't, it's a shame).
Well, mv supports what the underlying api supports. I confess myself
amazed that applications need to handle this sort of thing when it
should really just be a special case in the underlying library.
