A few questions out of curiosity, since I've not read up on Cygwin 1.7:
What does Cygwin 1.7 do in that case with
mkdir FROG
cd frog
? I assume there'd be an error, as on UNIXy systems.
I assume there'd be the same error for
mkdir FROG
mkdir fRog
cd frog
In a completely case-sensitive directory, I would expect that the
problem of normalizing a directory or file name would be a no-op, just
like on UNIXy systems: if you enter the name exactly, it knows the
exact spelling without any other work; if you don't enter it exactly,
there's an error, and thus no need to normalize the invalid name.
Is there a way for a script to tell whether it's running under Cygwin
1.7, and whether the directory is case-sensitive?
