    Case-folding is locale-dependent
    (See, for example, [http://userguide.icu-project.org/transforms/casemappings])
    and is enormously complicated.  We do not want to go there.
    
    I suppose it does make sense to issue warnings if fossil detects
    possible conflicts in filenames.  This can be done easily enough
    for ASCII.  But because the problem is all but unsolvable for full
    unicode, the change should be to add warnings only, and then only
    for ASCII.  Some users may actually want to store files whose names 
    differ only in case and we don't want to have to go through all of
    the complication to try to figure out unicode case folding.
    
    I am changing this ticket to a feature request.
