[Tapestry Central] Git on Mac OS X: Don't ignore case!
By default, Mac OS X uses a case insensitive file system, and Git seems
to honor that. The problem is, most programming languages, especially
Java, are case insensitive.
I was just renaming some classes, from things like "JavascriptStack"
to "JavaScriptStack" (because the language is called "JavaScript"
not "Javascript") ... and I was dismayed that Git saw that as an
in-place update to a file, not a rename of the file.
Unfortunately, it's not as simple as git config core.ignorecase false
JavaScriptStack.java.

You can reformat your drive to use a case sensitive version of Mac OS
Extended.

I had this exact same issue (or close enough) with Subversion on OS X
the other day. So, it isn't strictly a Git problem.
