Is this still needed in latest versions of Git, please see below ?
A quick test shows that both the file is renamed and the index is updated:
user@mac:~/projects/git/git.pu> git mv Makefile MAKEFILE
user@mac:~/projects/git/git.pu> ls -l MAKEFILE
-rw-r--r-- 1 tb staff 100301 Apr 17 16:53 MAKEFILE
user@mac:~/projects/git/git.pu> git status
HEAD detached at git.git/pu
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
renamed: Makefile -> MAKEFILE

mv: allow renaming to fix case on case insensitive filesystems
"git mv hello.txt Hello.txt" on a case insensitive filesystem
always triggers "destination already exists" error, because these
two names refer to the same path from the filesystem's point of
view, and requires the user to give "--force" when correcting the
case of the path recorded in the index and in the next commit.
Detect this case and allow it without requiring "--force".
