This appears to be a bug to me, but I want to check before filing a bug report. I was unable to get any clarification on the vim mailing list.
Under cygwin, :e file* will match in a case-insensitive manner. I believe this is wrong, since cygwin is emulating unix which is case-sensitive. Other tools, like bash, default to case-sensitive globbing. There is a bash option "nocaseglob" which allows bash to behave in a case-insensitive manner, but the default is unix-like. I believe vim under cygwin used to do case-sensitve filename globbing, but now it's doing it case-insensitively and I'd like to get it to revert to the old behavior. So, if there is a way to turn on/off case-sensitivity for :e file* globbing, then I would be happy to use it. If this is a build-time bug in the way vim is being built under cygwin, I can correspond with the cygwin maintainers to get it fixed. But, if neither of these apply, I will file a bug report/enhancement request for 1) adding an option to toggle case-sensitivity (a feature enhancement) and 2) making the default on cygwin be case-sensitive (a bug fix).
