I've set up my Cygwin installation to be case sensitive, following the instructions at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-casesensitive But it doesn't seem to be working as I expect. For example: $ mkdir a $ mkdir A $ ls -al [aA] a: total 100 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 kbrown None 0 2016-09-20 20:18 ./ drwxrwxrwt+ 1 kbrown-admin None 0 2016-09-20 20:19 ../ A: total 100 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 kbrown None 0 2016-09-20 20:19 ./ drwxrwxrwt+ 1 kbrown-admin None 0 2016-09-20 20:19 ../ $ mv a A mv: cannot move 'a' to a subdirectory of itself, 'A/a' Why does mv think that A and a are the same directory? Here's another example, where mv should simply do a rename, but it doesn't: $ rmdir A $ mv a A $ ls -al a total 100 drwxr-xr-x+ 1 kbrown None 0 2016-09-20 20:18 ./ drwxrwxrwt+ 1 kbrown-admin None 0 2016-09-20 20:30 ../ $ ls -al A ls: cannot access 'A': No such file or directory cygcheck output is attached.
