I’m not sure I understand you now ;)

My “issue” is that I need to rename a file twice if I want to change only case of name. I interpreted your answer like “You don’t have to from Hg’s point of view. However, Windows treats file names case insensitive so in your environment you have to”.

No you don't.


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

/Mads

In case that wasn't clear, I believe that if you use "hg mv" to rename the file, rather than Windows file move/rename operations, it will correctly update the case-sensitive version of the name that Mercurial tracks without requiring multiple renames/commits.

The improved behavior appears to have been included in Mercurial 2.1.2 (rename: handle case-changing).
