Re: On VirtualPC Rename erases File

From: Kevin Grover <kevin_at_kevingrover.net>

In Windows (NTFS and FAT), filenames are case _insensitive_, so
CLSObjPrjKeys.h and cLSObjPrjKeys.h represent the same file. I know that
svn had problems with renames like this (just case change) under Windows
(and Mac, and any file system which is case insensitive).

I haven't played with this in hg, so I'm not sure if there are any issues.
If you can rename in two steps:
1) CLSObjPrjKeys.h --> temp
2) temp -> cLSObjPrjKeys.h

Then there's probably an issue with the underlying file system. These types
are problems are no really a fault of hg (or any other vcs), but more just
an known limitation of the environment.
