Windows FAT32/NTFS is also case-insensitive (but as Vincent noted -- it's
case-preserving).

It seems that main goal of bzr 1.0 is performance, then performance and
after that again performance.
I wrote specification draft for proper support CIF:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/bzr/+spec/case-insensitive-filesystems

If no one will start working on this, then I'm planning to implemented it
for bzr after I finish versioned properties and support for line-endings.
It will not be so fast, sorry :-( (because besides bzr I have my
regular job and my family).

If someone want to implement it, but don't know how to start, I could
mentoring this work.

bzr mv --after /path/project/stubby /path/project/Stubby
is your friend. It works for me all the time on Windows.
