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).

As a data point, on Mac OS X (case-insensitive, but case-preserving) "mv foo Foo" works, but "git mv foo Foo" does not.

Cheers,
