I am trying to work on a project which contains files whose names only differ in case.

I ran into this problem when checking the source code out from Subversion. My investigation of the problem indicates that the OS-X filesystem is not case sensitive. (which I found odd for a UNIX based system)


Not at all odd for a system designed for ordinary users. The problem is just as bad if you ever work on Windows, by the way.

IMO your best solution is to rename the files in the repository to something humanly distinguishable. Until then, the disk image approach should work.
