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.
Apparently the folks at Apple decided that the code to support such
hoop-jumping should be in the application rather than in the C lib or
the kernel. Well done...
As if it wasn't appalling enough to see them turn a perfectly decent
unix-clone such as FreeBSD into some defect monstrosity that doesn't
even have a case sensitive filesystem.
