Thanks Rainer, but it did not work (However I did  not put the full
path, rather executed the command in the directory in question)

The error message said 
abort: case-folding collision between
Mini-Examen-Quim/13-14/Result-Final/Calificaciones_EstadisticaCalcNumerico13-14.csv
and
Mini-Examen-Quim/13-14/Result-Final/CALIFICACIONES_EstadisticaCalcNumerico13-14.csv

So I changed into Mini-Examen-Quim/13-14/Result-Final

And run 
hg mv CALIFICACIONES_EstadisticaCalcNumerico13-14.csv steve
hg ci -m "First move"
hg mv steve Calificaciones_EstadisticaCalcNumerico13-14.csv 
hg ci -m "Second move"

But then hg up english
gives me the same error. 

I willl try it with the full path, but I am
almost desperate, I could not have imaged that Apple occurred to have
format the disk case-insensitive in a OS which is based on Net-BSD or
Unix if you want. This is just insane, well actuall brain damaged.

On the long run I have to clone my disk, reformat the disk, and try to
recover the clone.
