We have the git bare repository in unix that has files with same name that differs only in cases.

Example: GRANT.sql grant.sql

When we clone the bare repository from unix in to a windows box, git status detecs the file as modified. The working tree is loaded only with grant.sql, but git status compares grant.sql and GRANT.sql and shows the file as modified in the working tree.

I tried using the core.ignorecase false but the result is the same.

Is there any way to rix this issue.

Hello, how can I change timezone on MSYS+MinGW for Windows if I have only "date" command installed? There are no "tzconfig" or "tzselect" here. When I try $date --set="Apr 01 23:08 UTC+04:00" I receive 19:08 GMT+0 resul. This is very important for me because "make" command always gives me errors… >>> More
