I think Actually NTFS IS CASE sensitive - so you are wrong :) What isn't case sensitive is the windows apis to get at the files iirc. So you can have a folder called abc123 and one called ABC123 in the same directory but via explorer you can only access one at a time :)

What if I happen to have a file >called FOO_CONFLICT already? Erh you already had foo in the repo / local store and you are on windows - so you know you have to do something :) This isn't hard :) > There is only 1 solution on Windows: don’t have 2 files/folders called the > same name in the same directory.
