@ -6,10 +6,14 @@ We talked about that very shortly a few months ago:
tribut is there a backend that lowercases the extension? or do the *E backends do that anyway?
joeyh it does not
tribut but would it make sense? or am i missing something?
joeyh I don't know.. the extension is only there for stupid programs that follow symlinks and check extensions. If such a program cares about .GIF vss .gif, you might have a problem
joeyh I think that you can git-annex migrate from hashE to hash, then migrate back, and it'll update to the new file extension.

tribut i was thinking about content-identical images with .JPG or .jpg extension
tribut and because even the most retarded of programs wont care, i thought the backend could lowercase the extension

joeyh ah, sure, using the E backend reduces the ability to de-duplicate
joeyh I'd not want to add a e backend set just for this. There's no requirement that the extension extraction code be stable, so it could be considered changing it to lower-case

joeyh otoh, I have no idea if some programs are dumb enough to care about .git vs .GIF
