This is starting to stray far afield, but the first thing I did when I
got a Macbook was to reinstall it with case-sensitive HFS as the boot
file system.  Works fine, including with git.  The only problem I have
had is that FileVault does not work.  There are rumored to be some
third-part apps that do not work but I do not use that many of those
anyway.
