> Here is an unsophisticated workaround that bypasses `dired-create-files' when dealing with renaming when (1) 'darwin; (2) just one file; and, (3) the file names of to/from are equal if both are lower-cased.  It doesn't do the fancy cutting/pasting of the new line in dired-mode and instead just reverts the entire buffer.

I have 2 problems with this change:

  . it's IMO wrong to fix this on Dired level, it should be fixed on
    the rename-file level

  . when the filesystem is case-sensitive, the code should work like
    it does today, because then 'foo' and 'FOO' and 'Foo' are all
    different files

Thanks.
