Re: git: cannot rename foo to Foo on a case-insensitive filesystem (e.g. on Windows)

On 29 Aug 2007, Linus Torvalds verbalised:

And if you use that algorithm, them 'ß' and 'ss' are equal in a 
case-insensitive filesystem. 

Does anybody do that? I don't know. But I sure as hell wouldn't be 
surprised.

Oh yes, they do. Guess what I spent the last month fixing in a huge heap
of proprietary software. Of course the problem is not truly fixable
because of the potentially unbounded set of context-dependent stuff such
as `Masse'.

(I hear some people got a summer holiday...)
