Really? The developer who wrote software for Windows and OS X that depends on a case-sensitive file-system is going to throw stones about bad software? Windows

Windows and OS X use case-sensitive file-systems. That sucks. But if you are going to release software for those systems, you need to accept that that is the reality, and write your software accordingly. This is hardly the first issue Git has had due to this, Linus's time would be better spent fixing these issues rather than stamping his feet and expecting OS X and Windows to change.
- Morgawr 12y agoI think you mean case-insensitive filesystems.
- fulafel 12y agoLinus didn't write or port git for Windows or OS X. In fact for the longest time git on Windows required Cygwin. I doubt Linus was even much involved in git maintenance by the time native Windows support was merged... or was it ever? Is msysgit a fork?
