@hell as I was the only one unaffected, I don't know exactly what happened. I just pointed out the problem and left (sad, I know, but I don't like to waste my time on MacOS)

@hell exactly my question. I can't think of a reason why it would stop working if it's case insensitive.

@ilPinguino one more reason to avoid them

@stacked Same for MacOS though :)
Short horror story: a coworker of mine renamed a directory in the git repo from ABC to abc. All MacOS users found their repos completely broken after pulling the changes. They didn't know that Apple's crappy HFS+ filesystem was case-insensitive.
I have ~10 coworkers, and each of them wasted at least 1 hour manually fixing this problem. This is like not working for more than a day.
(I'm forced to use a Mac too, but I use an ext3 volume for repositories.)
