Question

Its a regular problem in Windows for not using case-sensitive file systems. If you want to do it with the TortoiseHg Workbench installed, search the file and rename it:

right click/TortoiseHg/Rename File

It will rename the file to the right case sensitive name you want. The next picture shows how i changed XMLConverter for XmlConverter

Then in the Workbench you may commit the file change:

This was updated a week later

The solution presented may gives you problems later updating the whole repository from another PC. So the ultimate way to resolve it, may be making 2 commits:

1. One for renaming files with the unwanted name to some temporary one. Ex.: XMLConverter2
2. Another for renaming the temporary files to the new names. Ex.: XmlConverter

So it got like this:

This is actually the way it doesnt make conflicts in Windows anymore. It looks ugly but it is effective.
