Subject: `git add` with unmatching case silently fails on case-insensitive file systems
Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2025 14:52:09 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7e5e2f26-deda-41a3-af46-79c42435b3c7@gmail.com> (raw)
Good morning,
I am using Git on Windows, whose file system is case-insensitive. If the
working tree has a file called `SourceFile.c`, for example, and I run
`git add sourcefile.c`, I would expect either (a) Git stages
`SourceFile.c` or (b) Git errors with "fatal: pathspec 'sourcefile.c'
did not match any files". However, none of those actually took place;
instead Git did not stage the file and produced no output as if the
command had succeeded, which led me to proceed to committing without
realizing I had missed the file.
I would like to know whether this is intended behavior or I have bumped
into a case-sensitivity bug.
Regards,
Quang
