Sortable vs sortable causes issues on case insensitive filesystems #3650
Description
Simply checking out cdnjs results in a file being modified because you have https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/tree/master/ajax/libs/Sortable and https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/tree/master/ajax/libs/sortable. It's not just my fs though, it looks like you own site can't handle this (search for "sortable" and you see the summary for Sortable but view the page and it's sortable).

Yep, this is a known issue. We are still brain storming a solution, as we can't remove things from the CDN, we are all ears if anyone has any ideas...

Sorry for that, as @thomasdavis said, we are finding a good solution for it, and I think there is a workaround for Mac now.

I was able to work around this using a sparse checkout: http://briancoyner.github.io/blog/2013/06/05/git-sparse-checkout/
Pretty annoying on Windows though.

This is an issue on OS X. And those workarounds don't seem to work, @PeterDaveHello.
PeterDaveHello commentedon Sep 25, 2014
Have you tried it @gf3? I thought case-sensitive filesystem on OS X will help.
zpao commentedon Sep 25, 2014
HFS+ is case insensitive by default.
PeterDaveHello commentedon Sep 25, 2014
But you can create a case-sensitive, right?
zpao commentedon Sep 25, 2014
Yes, you can but (and I'm guesstimating) 97% of people don't.
gf3 commentedon Sep 25, 2014
you can run into serious issues when formatting a mac as case-sensitive. it is not recommended.
PeterDaveHello commentedon Sep 26, 2014
So I just said that is workaround ... not a solution ...
hassankhan commentedon Sep 28, 2014
+1 for fixing this, I can't commit. Every time I try to stage my own files, git complains about
index.lock(doesn't exist).PeterDaveHello commentedon Sep 30, 2014
#3792 may help also
PeterDaveHello commentedon May 3, 2015
See https://github.com/cdnjs/cdnjs/blob/master/documents/sparseCheckout.md, will help.

is there anything actionable here? we won't modify existing files because that would be a breaking change.
MattIPv4 commentedon Mar 25, 2024
Closing as this isn't actionable, but have pinned for visibility as this will be a forever issue with this repo (and other related cdnjs repos).
