[issue1092] hg add gives wrong result when filename case doesn't match

[Paul Moore]

New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.moore at gmail.com>:

On a case insensitive filesystem (e.g. Windows) if you "hg add" a file using a
different case from the one the filename is stored as, Mercurial adds the wrong
filename and ends up confused over what files are present. Here is an example:

>hg init test
>cd test
>echo hello >a
>hg add --verbose A
adding A
>hg status
A A
? a
>rem Note that a is shown as unknown and A as added
>hg commit -m test
>hg sta
? a
>rem Note that a is still shown as unknown

This is related to Issue593 and Issue646.
