A new release of coreutils, 6.9-5, is available for experimental use, leaving 6.9-4 as current.
NEWS: ===== This is a minor patch release. It attempts to add some case-insensitivity smarts to mv, cp, and install. In other words, 'mv a A' should now cause the file to be renamed, rather than reporting an error, if 'a' and 'A' happen to be case-insensitive synonyms for the same file. I've tested this with disk files, virtual files (such as /proc), and managed mounts, but not with CYGWIN=check_case. Also, because it is a big enough patch, I am leaving this as an experimental release for a while longer in case some regressions turn up.
Great, thanks! Are you planning to submit the patch upstream?
