How to rename file case-sensitive?


Is there an easy way to rename a file foo to Foo?

mv foo Foo 

complains that they are the same file. From the FAQ
I learned that this is due to the limitations of 
Windows which does not distinguish between case
in file names. The FAQ also says that there is a
"highly experimental" case-sensitive file system
available. 

Not being prepared yet to live in a highly
experimental way, I'm curious whether there
is a simpler solution to the rename problem
aside from the obvious hack

  mv foo bar; mv bar Foo
