I've never done it, but my understanding is that for HFS+, going
case-sensitive is not a simple flip of a switch, but you have to
actually make a new filesystem. Given that complexity, and the fact that
some other apps might not like it, your best bet might be to create a
new case-sensitive filesystem in a loopback file, and then mount that
just for this project.
I'm not sure of the exact commands under OS X, but I'm sure some
googling could probably turn up a solution.
