If an at least first solution  to your problem is  to simply rename file
"STEVE" to "Steve" on a case agnostic file system, you simply have to do
it in two steps, because both, "STEVE" and  "Steve" refer to exactly the
same file:

   hg mv STEVE Jobs
   hg commit -m 'Move STEVE to Steve, step 1.'
   hg mv Jobs Steve
   hg commit -m 'Move STEVE to Steve, step 2.'

Sincerely,
  Rainer
