Would love to switch to case sensitive HFS+, but it causes a number of
problems for OS X users - a number of 3rd party applications don't
bother supporting case sensitive formatting (notably Adobe :/ ).
I appreciate that it's difficult and/or impossible to make certain
operations work on case insensitive FS's, but it seems like git ought
to at least complain noisily when it encounters such a situation...
