Hi,

Lately, I have been wondering why my test files in repo are modified after I clone it. It turned out to be two files: boolStyle_t_f and boolStyle_T_F. The system that pushed those files was case sensitive while my mac after High Sierra update had APFS which is by default case-insensitive. I highly suggest that git clone threw an exception when files are case sensitive and being cloned to a case insensitive system. This has caused problems with overriding files for test cases without any warning.

Thanks in advance. Regards, Pawel Paruzel
