Change case of a file on Windows?

Have a look here for more hints on how to do it:

How to make git ignore changes in case?

Or:

git mv -f name.java Name.java

If you are on a FAT file system your only choice is to do a two stage rename:

Back in the days when we used Perforce we had exactly this problem and this was the only solution we could come up with.

The following steps allowed me to change the case on Windows:

Add ignorecase = false to [core] in .git/config;
Move the files you are going to rename out of your project directory;
Add the deletes to the index;
Move all files back to their original location and change the case of the files and/or directories;
Add all "new" files to the index;
Remove ignorecase = false added at the first step.

This way you have a single commit that contains the rename and it makes it easy to change e.g. an entire directory.
