Hi git,
Here is the command sequence that causes git to stop responding:

mkdir mynewthing cd mynewthing git init mkdir abc touch abc/myfile git add abc/myfile git commit -a -m "whatever" git mv abc tmp git mv tmp Abc

I wanted to change the case of a committed folder. Since windows is case insensitive that's a bit harder. Perhaps with this version it's impossible?

Here's my git bash banner - "Welcome to Git (version 1.9.5-preview20141217)". I'm on Windows 8.1 Pro.

Cheers,
Yuval
