I noticed that since the addition of the file, tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh, one can no longer clone coreutils onto a case-challenged file system, because there is also a file in that directory whose name differs only in the case of the "f":
tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh What do you think about fixing this? Since it's easy to avoid, you may want to write a syntax-check rule using something like this: $ git ls-files|tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'|sort|uniq -d tests/tail-2/f-vs-rename.sh Actual consequence? When I clone onto an hfs file system (OS/X), the initial is shown as unclean, with tests/tail-2/F-vs-rename.sh being shown as modified (with the differences to transform it to the contents of the lower-case-named file).
