Description gregsmith 2013-01-04 19:45:16 UTC 
As the title suggests I have renamed a file from users.php to Users.php.  When I commit it suddenly is marked as deleted and gets removed.  It's as if Git thinks the file is removed when it's renamed and then the new capitalised version is seen as the same as the previous file so it thinks this was also removed.  I don't know a huge amount about Git but I would imagine this isn't expected behaviour as it's potentially very destructive.

I thought I'd found a workaround here - http://playabl.com/blog/2012/03/netbeans-git-deleteremove/ - but this doesn't work for me.

I've tried committing without the file, then readding the file and committing again but it just deletes it again.

The main problem should be solved in bug #217184
