|
As a follow-on to 108904173c... The semantics of glob do case-insensitive matching on Windows even when the file system or directory are case-sensitive. Thus a pattern FOO will match even when FOO does not exist on the file system but foo does. The reverse is also likely to be true (case-insensitive file system mounted on Unix). Fixing may not be easy, particularly since case-insensitivity can be on a per-directory basis. Possibly documenting this corner case is all we can do. | ||||
