I don't think so. Nobody really does development on such broken filesystems, and I kind of have this nagging suspicion that Niklas noticed just because he wanted to test git, not because he really wanted to do Linux development under Windows ;) That said, it might not be horrible to do. Doing git ls-files | sort -f | uniq -ic | grep -v ' 1 ' shows that we only have 19 names so afflicted, and they're all in netfilter. Maybe the netfilter people could be convinced not to do it. But really, do we actually expect anybody to really *care*? Linus
