Re: RFD: Handling case-colliding filenames on case-insensitive filesystems

Are there better suggestions on how to deal with this?

Just a small note that I forgot in the first email:

For the record, this issue has been discussed on stackoverflow <URL: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2528589/git-windows-case-sensitive-file-
names-not-handled-properly > and the last comment there suggests an 
alternative way to work around the case-colliding problem without having to 
remove either file from the repo:

Use sparse-checkout to exclude the case-colliding files from the working 
tree.

Obviously, this isn't a permanent solution, but I thought I'd just throw it 
out there, as something to consider until a more permanent solution is in 
place.
