Mac OS has a filesystem that's case insensitive. As a result, repositories with multiple refnames that are equivalent modulo case cause problems on Macs. For example, we had branches FooBar and Foobar... and git pull started balking with an (unable to update local ref) error.

There should be an option in Gerrit to disable creation of refs that have the same name as existing refs, with different case.
