There's at least one: allow the user to fix it.

I'm not a user of case-insensitive filesystem, but I guess it must be
terribly frustrating for a user to have the tool say "your repo is so
broken that I'm not even going to show you what's it in".

Now, it doesn't solve the problem of people having case-colliding
filenames on purpose ...
