Re: how to revert changes in working tree?

The Linux kernel has case sensitive file names.  In other words there
are two files in the kernel:

  net/netfilter/xt_MARK.c
  net/netfilter/xt_mark.c

and they have different content!  On NTFS or FAT, where filenames
are not case sensitive, these become the same file.  So Git now
starts to think that the file was modified, because one of those
files overwrote the other when they were checked out.

Moral of the story: You cannot work with the linux.git repository
on a case insensitive filesystem, like NTFS, FAT (Windows), or HFS+
(Mac OS X).

Yes, you are very right.
