Windows + Git: An Unnecessary Trudge

So this ate up a bit of my time. So I decided to post it so that people in future may be aware of such an issue. The problem is that git cannot rename magic.java to Magic.java on a case-insensitive filesystem, like windows. So here is the solution, 


git mv magic.java magic.xyz
git mv magic.xyz Magic.java


Have changed my plan a little. Since the NeXML thing is taking time in getting into my head, meanwhile I will implement the Roderic Page technique for making the tree edges follow the curvature of the earth.
