[Mingw-msys] Why is diff sensitive to case of filenames?

["Suresh Govindachar" <sgovindachar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

  In msys, tools such as tar and cp are insensitive to the 
  case of filenames, as one would expect.  However, the diff 
  in the latest diffutils-2.8.7-MSYS-1.0.11-snapshot.tar.bz2
  is sensitive to the case of filenames:

      $ mkdir a
      $ mkdir b
      $ cd a
      $ echo hello > foo
      $ cp foo ../b/FOO
      $ cd ..
      $ diff -sqr a b
      Only in b: FOO
      Only in a: foo
      $ cp -i a/foo b
      cp: overwrite `b/foo'? n

  Thanks,

  --Suresh
