[issue2946] Log command fails to find files that differ only by case

[Aaron Jensen]

New submission from Aaron Jensen <ajensen at webmd.net>:

We use Mercurial exclusively on Windows.  Occasionally, a developer will add a file 
with a path whose case is inadvertently different (see below).  When someone uses 
the log command to get the change history for that file on the expected file's path, 
nothing is returned.  This is very confusing and misleading.

# Steps to Reproduce

1. On Windows,
2. hg init RepoWhereLogIsInconsistent
3. mkdir Libraries
4. echo "" > Libraries\file.txt
5. hg add Libraries
6. hg commit -m "Adding file.txt."
7. echo "" > Libraries\file2.txt
8. hg add LIbraries\file2.txt # Note I inadvertently spelled LIbraries with wrong 
case.
9. hg commit -m "Adding file2.txt"
10. hg log Libraries\file2.txt
11. Note that step 10 returns no results.
