I agree that HFS+ isn't well suited for tasks which it is being asked

that hardly matters now, I know nobody's going to bother understanding
my argument so I may as well just stop trying.
Again, I don't think that's the correct solution. What about the
translation table that was suggested back at the beginning of the
thread? That would solve the case insensitivity issue as well, whereas
this NFC "solution" does nothing for that.
No, I am not asking git to do the same thing HFS+ does. You just
persist in misinterpreting my arguments, no matter how many times I
protest that this is not what I am saying.
So, what, you're saying git shouldn't do any work at all to try and
behave nicer on OS X? Because OS X sure as hell can't change to suit
git.
