I wonder do you really need to have two files on different branches whose
name only differ by case, especially when you work on case insensitive
filesystem? I suspect the answer is no. In this case, you can choose one
policy for file naming and stick to it. For instance, that all names should
be in low case except Makefile, or something like that. This policy can be
enforced using pre-commit hook.

You're right, in fact it usually happens as the result of a mistake in naming a file between two branches or deleting a file and creating another one months later with the same name, not really a question of policies... :-)

@Linus
As always, I'm absolutely not a windz fan (and this is demonstrated by the fact that I've been using cygwin for long time instead of the crappy win command prompt, and use linux every day for a few non-strictly-windz projects), but I 'must' use it if I want to work, there's no choice where I come from, and I can't change the market by myself, even if I strongly support linux as a substitute... So, given the fact that git is almost 'officially' supported at least under cygwin, I think it would be a good idea, if technically possible, to have a look at this kind of features. Not to mention the fact that having a broader audience for a project like git can be positive...

Thanks for your help,
Frank
