I wonder what happens when the file with the same case does exist that we are trying to make sure is missing? As far as I can tell, icase_exists() does not ask "does a file with this name in different case exist, and a file with this exact case doesn't?" but asks "does a file with this name, or another name that is different only in case, exist?". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
