Well, this is new to me. Perhaps it new to you, too. Or maybe not.
Follow closely.
$ ls
Alan Parsons Project - 1976 - Tales of Mystery and Imagination/
cd1/
cd2/
Yahel - Waves of sound/
Younger Brother - A Flock of Bleeps/
$ mv [A-Z]* cd2/
mv: cannot move `cd2' to a subdirectory of itself, `cd2/cd2'
$ ls
cd2/
Uhm? Since when were shell globs case *in*sensitive??
Yes, I know about nocaseglob:
$ shopt
nocaseglob off
which, according to the manpage, should make globs case sensitive.
$ echo $LANG
en_NZ.UTF-8
It gets worse:
$ touch a b C D
$ ls
a b C cd2/ D
$ echo [A-Z]*
b C cd2 D
Geezuz, where did little-'a' go?? A colleague pointed out that little-'a' is
sorting before big-'A' now.
This is just wrong, on every single level I think of, this is WRONG.
Easy to demonstrate it is locale:
$ bash -c 'echo [A-Z]*'
b C cd2 D
$ unset LANG; bash -c 'echo [A-Z]*'
C D
Why should I use locales ever again? This behaviour is not just hateful; it
is outright terrifying.
