Description (last modified by )
need script that reports files in same dirs which are same except case
this could be VERY useful for fixing new vegas screwups.
the script would take a particular directory (or dirs)
and find all the names in that directory which happen to be
identical when considered in case insensitive light.
this fixes a common problem when trying to do windows stuff
on linux, since windows is not case sensitive.
afterwards, another script could use the list of names
found by this guy and:
+ pile the files in the all lc name into the one that starts with capital letter (or is all UC).
+ complain if anything collided.
+ remove the lc name.
+ make a link from the cap first letter name to a new lc name.
+ bingo, done-o.
could also do reverse and make the lc name the default, but windows is ugly and the caps names are really expected by some people.
