Bug Description
bzr 0.14.0dev0 rejects attempts to change the case of a file on win32, e.g.
bzr mv test.txt TEST.TXT
The resulting error is "bzr: ERROR: can't rename: new working file u'TEST.TXT' already exists".
One can work around this bug by a double-rename:
bzr mv test.txt temp
bzr mv temp TEST.TXT

To post a comment you must log in.
This is because bzr don't handle well case-insensitive filesystem (i.e. Windows FAT/NTFS). So when you manually change the case of file it will be marked as removed.
There is planned to provide support for case insensitive filesystems, but this task has low priority.
