Will apply.\n"},{"id":"38810","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.64.0704061502000.6730@woody.linux-foundation.org","threadId":"7544","inReplyTo":"7v7ispjhtx.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net","subject":"Re: [PATCH] Distinguish branches by more than case in tests.","fromName":"Linus Torvalds","fromEmail":"torvalds@linux-foundation.org","sentAt":"2007-04-06T22:06:33Z","receivedAt":"2007-04-06T22:06:33Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"torvalds@linux-foundation.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1024025?v=4"},"body":"\n\nOn Fri, 6 Apr 2007, Junio C Hamano wrote:\n> \n> I always wonder why people pay money to buy case insensitive\n> filesystems (MacOS is not free, is it?).\n> \n> More mysterious is that there apparently are peole who are paid\n> to produce such systems (Apple has paid employees to work on\n> MacOS, doesn't it?).\n\nIt's doubly strange, because:\n - it's basically impossible to do well\n - even *trying* to do it introduces other (even subtler) problems, like \n locale-dependencies and trying to force some \"canonical\" encoding.\n\nPeople who do it tend to universally do it because they haven't thought it \nthrough, and are supporting some older behaviour.
