I am not sure that this has any benfit, the script will behave correctly
for ASCII file names without any changes. As check-case-insensitive.py
is my first Python program I am not a great expert in how Python handles
Unicode, but the research I did suggests that it will case fold
according to the Unicode rules and so I am pretty sure that it will
survive real world use.
At the end of the day the hook script's goal is to prevent files being
created on the server which cannot be checked out on the client. I
would be very interested in any examples where it fails to enforce this.
From my reading of
http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/01/16/353873.aspx I think it
might be possible in obscure cases. I am afraid I don't know exactly
what he means by the bogus lower case Georgian mapping!
