[cfe-dev] [llvm-dev] Shortest RFC ever: I propose we rename files using `.TXT` extension to use `.txt`

[Zachary Turner via cfe-dev]

Yea, I honestly don't think this will be a problem.  I'm happy to help you
test this in the office one day, you can just check in a test file, i'll
sync, then rename with different case and check it in again, and I'll
sync.  But I'm with you.  I'd be very surprised if this is a problem on
modern clients.
