From the FAQ I learned that this is due to the limitations of Windows which does not distinguish between case in file names. The FAQ also says that there is a "highly experimental" case-sensitive file system available. Not being prepared yet to live in a highly experimental way, I'm curious whether there is a simpler solution to the rename problem aside from the obvious hack mv foo bar; mv bar Foo -- Ronald Fischer Phone: +49-89-452133-162 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
