OK, so a working practical approach is as follows:
1. When I acquire the source files and before adding them to Bazaar, make
all of the source filenames lowercase.
2. If, inadvertently, a filename changes case, use bzr rename to keep the
history stitched together.
3. If I am trying to track a StarTeam repository, good luck.
Any other suggestions?
