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...
