[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] Shortest RFC ever: I propose we rename files using .TXT extension to use .txt (original) (raw)

Cool, before doing anything, I'll work w/ Zach to confirm. (Thanks Zach!)

Any other concerns?

Yea, I honestly don't think this will be a problem. I'm happy to help you test this in the office one day, you can just check in a test file, i'll sync, then rename with different case and check it in again, and I'll sync. But I'm with you. I'd be very surprised if this is a problem on modern clients.

I mean, I can try to get these to not be "renames" in svn... but surely modern windows SVN clients handle this correctly? (and git clienst?)

The problem here might be git trying to rename 'file.TXT' to 'file.txt', which results in an error on Windows since it sees both as the same name.
