case insensitive is not the same thing as case preserving.  assuming you're 
referring to the main ones (windows or OS X default), they're both case 
preserving.  so files checked out as foo.s will stay as foo.s.  the source 
code changes do string matches which have on relation at all to the file 
system the files reside upon.

so no, i dont think this change will make any difference at all to such 
systems.  otherwise you'd already see problems with the packages that utilize 
source files based on extension case.
