Hi,
I tried cloning a Mercurial repository which contained a 3 letter all-uppercase
directory onto a USB stick and cloning from that onto an ext3 file system.
It cloned quite well, but it didn't update the workdir.
When looking into the store I found that two uppercase directories had turned
to lowercase directories on FAT32, and had stayed lowercase when I cloned them
onto ext3.
I got it working by manually renaming the two directories to be all uppercase
again.
Other mixed case directories stayed mixed case.
Both directories had been 3 letter directories, so this might also have to do
with reserved names somehow, but I don't know enough about that to be sure.
All machines were Linux machines (Gentoo (amd64 desktop) and Fedora (OLPC-XO)).
Steps to reproduce:
- hg clone http://edrikor.dyndns.org:8007/ USB_STICK/game_rpg
- hg clone USB_STICK/game_rpg EXT3_DISK/game_rpg
Can you verify the problem?
