[PATCH] Demonstrate failure of 'core.ignorecase = true'
From: "Peter J. Weisberg" <pj@irregularexpressions.net>
On a filesystem that *is* case-sensitive, renaming a file to a name
that would be equivalent on a case-insensitive filesystem makes Git
think the original file was deleted. Add a test that demonstrates
this as a known error.
---
I have a repository that contains files that I sync from a place where
names are case-insensitive. When I sync a file that has a change in
the case of the file name, I want Git to ignore that non-change. I
would think core.ignorecase would accomplish this, but it does not.
