It’s not even actually that bad, at least not since January of 2020: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59687740/1858225

That’s called a workaround. No end user should have to rely on a workaround as a solution to a bug; and make no mistake, it’s a bug.

But whose bug is it? Really, Git origins have it tied to Linux development.

Case sensitivity, or the lack thereof, on a filesystem is opinionated. That’s the real issue and is not a bug.

My point is that the claim in the comic and in other comments that this corrupts your repo or loses work simply isn’t true.
