Just a small note that I forgot in the first email: For the record, this issue has been discussed on stackoverflow 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. ...Johan -- Johan Herland, www.herland.net
