Clone Dialog's URL case sensitivity causes issues with folder creation.

By odhinnsru... on January 09, 2013 12:34 (imported from Google Code)


  1. Open the clone dialog and enter the url for a repository that should contain caps, but to the repo name as all lower case. For example: it should be git @server:AB123, but you enter git@server:ab123
  2. Give the destination folder a different name than the default such as c:\Work\Git\Trunk (c:\Work\Git already exists) and try the clone.
  3. Re-open the clone dialog when it fails.
  4. Enter the proper url: git@server:AB123
  5. Enter the different folder name: c:\Work\Git\Trunk
  6. Try to clone.

You would expect TortoiseGit to clone AB123 into the folder Trunk.

It fails the clone reporting that it can't create the folder: c:\Work\Git\Trunk\ab123

Notice that it mentions the lower case ab123.

No matter what you do after this, you have to clone into the default folder (c:\Work\Git\AB123) or it will fail.

This was found in TortoiseSVN version 1.7.15.0 32 bit in Windows XP Pro SP 3.
