surely Git warns about stuff like this when you clone it, right ?
It tells you there's a name clash, and then it clones it anyway and you end up with the contents of
README.MD
inREADME.md
as an unstaged change.sounds like actually a good solution ... tho doesnt sound like it would work for more than 2 similarly-named files
I don't think it's intended as a "solution", it just lets the clobbering that is caused by the case insensitiveness happen.
So git just goes:
If you add a third or fourth file ... it would just continue, and file gets checked out first gets the filename and whichever file gets checked out last, gets the content.
thats better than Git just choosing a file to keep.
