This extension is still in '''alpha''', use it at your own risk.

=== Overview ===

This extension stops you from commiting a [[CaseFolding]] collision. In older versions of Mercurial, it was possible to introduce case-folding collisions by means of [[Merge]] and [[RebaseExtension]] while using a repository solely on case-folding file-systems like NTFS. In addition, such a collision can not be detected by the user until he tries to update back to this commit.

Furthermore, on projects using repos shared by users of Windows and POSIX-systems, it is easy for a POSIX user to cause the Windows folks a hard time. With this extension, you'll be stopped before commiting the crime...

=== Configuration 1.2 or higher ===

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

{{{
[extensions]
casestop = path/to/casestop.py
}}}

This will already install the precommit hook. 

=== Configuration 1.1.2 ===

Configure your .hgrc to enable the precommit hook:

{{{
[hooks]
precommit.casestop = python:hgext.casestop.hook
}}}
