Public bug reported:

If there is a file/folder on a FAT/NTFS partition e.g. with the name
"aBcde", you cannot rename it to "abCde", but you can rename it to
something else and then to "abCde". This bug not only appears when using
the command line, but also when using nautilus.


How to reproduce: Execute these commands on a FAT/NTFS partition:
$ ls
$ mkdir aBcde
$ ls
aBcde
$ mv aBcde abCde
mv: cannot move 'aBcde' to a subdirectory of itself, 'abCde/aBcde'
$ ls
aBcde
$ mv aBcde test
$ mv test abCde
$ ls
abCde
