Side note: doing it by just changing the name compare functions to ignore case is _not_ a good things to do, because that would generate tree objects that simply don't work (or fsck) correctly on any other machine. The index and tree objects are all sorted by pathname, and thus the sorting order has to be something that everybody agrees on, and any locale dependencies are not appropriate. It might be worth asking the monotone guys what they do - they've worked on Windows for a long time.
