Details:

Hi! First-time Savannah hacker here. Sorry if I've mis-categorized this; it's
a bug report, and doesn't fit well into any of the Category items above.

I'm working on running Savannah locally as described in
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/RunningSavaneLocally/. I'm running a Mac,
where the filesystem is case-insensitive.

There is a tests/mechs directory, and a tests/MECHS documentation text file.
On case-insensitive filesystems, these names collide, and one of them will
disappear from your local git repo and appear deleted.


[savane] $ pwd
/Users/janke/local/repos/savane
[savane] $ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        deleted:    tests/MECHS


Simple fix: rename MECHS to MECHS.txt to avoid the collision. I've done so on
my branch at https://github.com/apjanke/savane/tree/fix-mechs-vs-MECHS. Is
this the right way to submit a pull request?
