Regardless of how cool this is, which I truly think, won't this "break" tons of apps and tools? NTFS and (V)FAT(32) arent't case sensitive and I have seen tons of projects which will fopen file.xy regardless if the file was created as File.xy or fIle.xy or FILE.xy.... (you get the picture).
- Kwpolska 3y agoNTFS is case-sensitive internally and you can have case-sensitive files or directories. Back when WSL1 was the only version, I tried to compile some C++ stuff with MSVC. I ran `git clone` in WSL but cloned to the Windows partition. Visual Studio complained that EXAMPLE.H could not be found, even though it was there, except it looked like "example.h" in Explorer. (WSL2 does not use this feature, since cross-OS file access is done via network shares, and Linux files live in a virtual disk image.)
