This page is to discuss the problem of interoperating between case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems.
The Problem
If a repository contains history for both "A" and "a", cloning it to case-insensitive filesystem will result in a collision of those history files, which will appear as corruption to verify. It will also result in collisions if both "A" and "a" appear in the same manifest.
The standard Linux filesystems are case-sensitive, but some (like msdos) are not Almost all other UNIX filesystems are case-sensitive The OS X HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive by default, but can be made case-sensitive All Windows filesystems are case-insensitive
