Git Case Sensitive Files.

[diomedesantonio]

When migrating the changesets from RTC to Git the following error message shows up:

There was a [FAILURE](Update failed There were issues encountered during the updating of the sandbox. Unable to modify /Project/NT/TEST.ini because its not a file. Reload component Project Check the log for details about the error at "C:\Users\Diome\AppData\Local\jazz-scm". If you have configured custom logging check your log configuration settings for the path to the log file.).

C:\Users\Diome\AppData\Local\jazz-scm\log:

com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.FileSystemStatusException: Status ERROR: com.ibm.team.filesystem.client code=0 There were issues encountered during the updating of the sandbox. null children=[Status ERROR: com.ibm.team.filesystem.client code=0 Unable to modify /Project/NT/TEST.ini because its not a file. Reload component NetMAC_Project com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.FileSystemException: Unable to modify /Project/TEST.ini because its not a file. Reload component Project]

The file cannot be found because there was a change set in RTC where the original file (test.ini) was replaced with a new file TEST.ini. Instead of deleting and creating a new file, RTC considered the change as renaming as shown below:

[2020-10-21 17:13:37] Changes: [2020-10-21 17:13:37] --mc- \Project\TEST.ini (Renamed from \Project\test.ini)

Is there a way to disable case sensitivity and threat it as the same file during the migration?

Thanks

Hi @diomedesantonio

Its possible, but not on Windows. Thats the main reason why we advice to do the migration on linux. 👍

I'll close the issue for now. If you have any problems doing the migration on linux, let me know by a comment.
