That's somewhat to be expected, as my case-insensitive patch is cygwin-specific. > # ll *c > -rwxrwxrwx+ 1 ????????

None 34 Aug 22 23:09 TsT.lc Yes, the rename occurs even if the first argument did not match the case of the file on disk. > > # mv tst.lc tst.lc > mv: `tst.lc' and `tst.lc' are the same file Intentional. My patch specifically does not attempt a case rename when the two arguments are identical, even if the two identical arguments differ in case from the disk file, under the idea that a user may not be aware that they are spelling the filename with a different case. It is only when the two arguments differ in case that I check whether a case-renaming was requested. I could perhaps be persuaded to change this, but right now I'm inclined to leave it the way it is. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
