Note also that probably none of the MacPorts contributors have case-sensitive HFS+ setups, so probably nobody other than you will discover or be affected by such problems. While I would expect such problems to be rare, they would be nonexistent if you used the normal case-insensitive HFS+.
Heh. Actually:
Was named 'cvs-port' as to not conflict with 'CVS' the directory, when we used CVS ('CVS' vs. 'cvs').
On the flip side, some people are going to use case-sensitive file systems. There doesn't seem like a particularly good reason to not support them, since 9 times out of 10, failure to work with a case-sensitive file system is indicative of a bug.
