Once a directory exists on a Wintel machine, does MS-DevStudio ever change the case of directories or filenames--in the project's .DSP, thus confusing Perforce when opening files for add or edit?

The 'real behavior' I want is to have the operations be case-insensitive or not based on the case-insensitivity of the client, not the server. In fact, I would prefer if there were a way to handle case sensitive clients from a case-insensitive server like NT. (although I would never use NT for a server myself).

For example, the NT perforce server could just replace all uppercase letters with "$<lettter>" so that if I checked in:

FooBar.h

It could turn it into:

$foo$bar.h

I don't know what the best character to use for "$" is, but any character which is a valid filename character on NT, but not a valid Perforce character would be fine.

Then, perforce should be capable of performing the case-insensitive matching for case-insensitive clients on commands like: add, delete, edit,
