git isn’t tracking folder renames when the case of the letters change, but it 
will track it if the folder changes names.  Is this intentional?

Here is an example:

08:51:26 ~/test $ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/kcoleman/test/.git/
08:51:29 ~/test (master #) $ mkdir main
08:51:44 ~/test (master #) $ cd main
08:51:46 ~/test/main (master #) $ touch readme.md
08:51:50 ~/test/main (master #) $ ls
readme.md
08:51:53 ~/test/main (master #) $ cd ..
08:51:54 ~/test (master #) $ git add .
08:51:59 ~/test (master #) $ git commit -m "one"
[master (root-commit) b0fddf6] one
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 main/readme.md
08:52:04 ~/test (master) $ cd main
08:52:14 ~/test/main (master) $ cd ..
08:52:27 ~/test (master) $ mv main Main
08:53:51 ~/test (master) $ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean
08:53:53 ~/test (master) $ ls
Main
08:54:02 ~/test (master) $ mv Main MainA
08:55:44 ~/test (master *) $ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        deleted:    main/readme.md

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        MainA/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
08:55:45 ~/test (master *) $--
