That'd break git repos where files with the same name, but different case exist.
I was talking about branch names, not file names. File duplicates due to case sensitivity aren't a problem on Windows anyway because those are already enforced by the file system. Unless you have people working on Linux that have multiple files with a similar name but with different casing but those should know better.
so now its the Linux users who should know better, just in case git introduces a breaking change out of nowhere ?
...but not the ones using a case-insensitive file system with case-sensitive version control ?
