I have a file named ‘filter.php’ and I renamed it to ‘Filter.php’, but Git doesn’t notice this. Instead I needed to do something like this:
git mv filter.php filter.php2
git mv filter.php2 Filter.phpIt looks stupid, but it works like a charm!

This most likely has to do with Mac OS X’s (default) case insensitive filesystem setting.

Au contraire mon ami! I’ve read that git is not case sensitive when it comes to filenames. Ah well, potaaaato potato :)

I actually don’t know if it is, but when testing on a linux box, git *does* detect the uppercasing.
