That's fourteen years without complains, still I cannot imagine any cases where it would be a problem as people who would have faced this problem but not reported it have likely just enforced the FS to handle case-insensitivity for paths. Or they just relied on the default: on Windows the default is to be case-insensitive, as much as OSX. So the proposed patch handles things better with case-sensitive paths, without really impacting users with case-insensive FS. I see the point of not back-patching the change though. -- Michael
