Having grappled with mapping between posix paths and the windows case-preserving-but-insensitive semantics, I can't say that I find this sort of thing terribly surprising. Unfortunately, this kind of edge-case behaviour is unavoidable when you're trying to bridge semantic differences between OSes.
- mark-r 11y agoI expect to have problems with filename case. Not with .exe extensions. This would have taken me completely by surprise as well.
