Not that long ago I was tasked with cleaning up a Git repo, created on a case-sensitive Mac, that had multiple files with names that collided when checked out on a case-insensitive Mac. That ordeal made me want to hang up my keyboard, move to the country, and spend the rest of my days fixing power lawn equipment.

yuck, I had to deal with something similar once, made double fun by the code being a hot mess of JavaScript dung... original dev was on Windows, new one was on Mac and let's just say it was "fun" tracing through all the upper/lowercase nonsense that wasn't consistent anywhere. PHP can fall into similar traps and I think Java as well...
