I learned that this is due to the limitations of
Windows which does not distinguish between case
in file names. The FAQ also says that there is a
highly experimental case-sensitive file system
available.
Not being prepared yet to live in a highly
experimental way, I'm curious whether there
is a simpler solution to the rename problem
aside from the obvious hack
mv foo bar; mv bar Foo
I use the following (which is essentially a wrapper around the hack):
$ cat /usr/local/bin/mvv
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mv ${1%%/} ${1%%/}-$$ mv ${1%%/}-$$ ${2%%/}
