For those on Mac OS X: it is possible to create a case-sensitive HFS+
partition and
use it with git. You even can just create a disk image and mount it.
However,
I wouldn't quite try to use it as startup filesystem...

This is starting to stray far afield, but the first thing I did when I
got a Macbook was to reinstall it with case-sensitive HFS as the boot
file system.  Works fine, including with git.  The only problem I have
had is that FileVault does not work.  There are rumored to be some
third-part apps that do not work but I do not use that many of those
anyway.

The main problem with this approach is you know for certain that using  
HFSX as the boot partition is barely tested by Apple, and certainly  
untested by third-party apps. This means the potential for breakage is  
extremely high.
