Weird bug

I don't understand though. I have never changed the name of this file
(only its contents) and only pushed using bazaar. On the destination
branch I have never committed. I have no files that have the same name
but with different case either so I don't have 2 files that differ only
by capitalisation.

Also, why did Bazaar tell me it moved a file when it didn't?

| That's not a bzr bug.  That's a FAT filesystem flaw.

| FAT is not truly case-sensitive, so you can't store two files

| "man mount".
