(I reported this issue on the bug tracker on Savannah, but it looks like sending bug reports to this mailing list is preferred, so I'm repeating it here.)
On Cygwin using non-managed mounts (and presumably other operating systems when using a case-insensitive file system), it's not possible to use Coreutils mv to change the case of a filename; mv reports that they are the same file. The underlying Cygwin rename() function does support this functionality. Also see the thread on the Cygwin mailing list starting at <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00335.html>. Example: $ touch foo $ mv foo Foo mv: `foo' and `Foo' are the same file $ mv --version mv (GNU coreutils) 6.9 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software.
