It's neat that Linux has the ability to do this, but I honestly can't think of a good usecase for this. I think this is more confusing than it is useful

Git likes to have a word with you.

Huh, what makes this a use case in favor of case sensitive file names? How does git use this feature?

Create multiple branches that only differ in cases from a Unix OS so it breaks git for Windows users in the same project.

We had a repo with some really weird (filename) case issues on Mac also. I could only fix it on my home Linux machine, by deleting all the affected files, committing that, then restoring them with all lowercase names. Only time I've dealt with that in 20 years but it can happen!
