Capitalization changes in file names not detected in windows
See original GitHub issueDescription
Renaming a file under windows by changing only capitalization of the file name results in the desktop client not detecting any changes. To actually rename the file in remote I had to change the file name from the github website and then syncing it to my pc.
Version
GitHub Desktop version: Chocolate-Covered Yaks (3.3.4.0) 50415df
OS version: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.19]
Steps to Reproduce
In my case it was
- Have a file named zh_CN.lang just merged from a PR
- Renamed the file on my machine to zh_cn.lang
- The client doesn’t realize the filename has changed. Restarting it doesn’t help
Expected behavior: GitHub should list the change under the “changes” tab in order for me to commit
Actual behavior: GitHub doesn’t list the change
Reproduces how often: Everytime a file is renamed by only changing the letters’ case
