Hi,

I think I have found a possible difference in behaviour between Windows git commandline distro and Linux git

basically If I do a :-
    git mv logger.h Logger.h
I get the following :-
    fatal: destination exists, source=lib/logger.h, destination=lib/Logger.h
It looks and smells like a bug to me !
Regards,
Aaron
