Don't forget that the case sensitiveness of NTFS is configurable, and
that there may exist third party filesystems and network filesystems
with their own particular case affinity.

It's not always restricted to Windows either, I ran into case problems
with VirtualBox's vboxsf driver from Linux, where Git assumed that as it
was on Linux, it could expect case sensitivity.
