Re: inconsistent behavior on mac with case changes

I created a dir on my Mac called Rollup, and pushed it out. Then went

Mac and did a pull - it said it created the RollUp dir, but it did not
- it was still called Rollup. I reamed it, but status did not pick up
the change. Then I checked out a branch that had Rollup, but it was
gone there - no Rollup or RollUp. I did a merge and then RollUp was
created.

I know the Mac is somewhat inconsistent with how it deals with case, e.g.:

$ ls
RollUp
$ ls -d Rollup
Rollup
$ ls -d RollUp
RollUp
$ find . -name Rollup -print
$ find . -name RollUp -print
./RollUp

So I guess I can understand git also being inconsistent there. But
what really got me was the dir being gone on the branch.

Is all this expected behavior?

Is this not the correct list for a question like this? If not, is
there another list that's more appropriate?
