Rename file only by case

Yes, I'm on win. Didn't think that matters if the OS treated file names as case sensitive or not but instead Hg somehow kept the file name as a "case sensitive string" in its db - but I was obviously wrong in my (newbee) thoughts...

It's of course not a big issue but good to know anyhow. Thanks.

Hi

If I want to rename file FOO.txt to foo.txt in my repo - what's the best way to do this? I've done this a few times before but not been able to do this without first rename it to a "temp name" so to speak...

1)      FOO.txt in repo

2)      rename to FOOtemp.txt and commit

3)      rename to foo.txt and commit

Can I avoid step 2 somehow?

I assume it is a problem because you are on Windows.

The recommended procedure is:

1) hg mv FOO.txt foo.txt
2) hg commit
