Well, to be clear, this only affects Mac and Windows, correct? (Technically any case changing os) So, update no matter what, unless you're not on an affected s

Well, to be clear, this only affects Mac and Windows, correct? (Technically any case changing os) So, update no matter what, unless you're not on an affected system? (this is a question, not a statement)

As mentioned in the mailing list announcement (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1853266 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1853266), if you run a git host on linux, you can still spread the dangerous commit.

Or Linux mounting a case-insensitive share, e.g. CIFS.

OK, just so everyone is up to speed: Under what circumstances could a Linux filesystem be case-insensitive? I know of three: FAT (specifically vfat, these days), JFS with Option -O, and CIOPFS (Case Insensitive On Purpose Filesystem): http://superuser.com/questions/290480/case-insensitive-partition-under-linux http://superuser.com/questions/290480/case-insensitive-parti... http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.jfs http://linux.die.net/man/8/mkfs.jfs http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/jfs_mkfs.8.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/jfs_mkfs.8.ht... http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/ciopfs/ http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/ciopfs/ Are there any more?

  As for common filesystems (for some reasonable value of "common"): NTFS, HFS+ and SMB will probably be case insensitive. ZFS may be case insensitive. There are others that would be exotic these days, like AFP. And with FUSE, could be anything.

    My quick an dirty (pun intended) experiment concluded that ntfs, while mounted on linux, is case-sensitive. Windows will happily list all files from fs in explorer, whatever case they are, but treat them as one. And this is deep in win32: http://i.imgur.com/sWnCMdq.png http://i.imgur.com/sWnCMdq.png (that's cygwin, while on linux, I've put a `small` file in the `test` dir).

      You can mount NTFS case sensitive, but you probably don't want case sensitivity if you interop with Windows and, if you don't, why on earth would you use NTFS?

        Yeah. NTFS is case preserving, not case sensitive.

        NTFS is case sensitive. The Win32 layer presents NTFS as case preserving, but the NT POSIX layer (since renamed to SFU), as well as Cygwin, use NTFS's case sensitivity.

        More to the point, the NTFS API can be both. And you can access that from Win32 code as well. There's also a registry flag to make NTFS case-sensitive by default.
