Running the tool on a case-insensitve file system #326

Open matthisk opened 5 years ago

When I ran the BFG repo cleaner on an OS X volume which is case insensitive I wasn't able to actually remove the blobs from the Git database. This probably has to do with case names in some of the branches. I was able to resolve this issue by running the BFG repo cleaner on a volume that is case sensitive. However I was wondering if we could make the tool perform its operations correctly on a case-insensitive file system?
