git supports work-arounds for both of these problems

you can tell git to change the line ending when a file is checked in, checked out, both, or neither. you can modify this by editing the git config file or useing the git config command.

you can tell git what to do about case sensitivity (although I don't remember the details of how to set this.

I'm aware that I can tell git to do line ending conversion, however the case sensitivity thing was basically git thought it had a file Foo.txt that was untracked and a file foo.txt that was, then when I try to do some things git refuses to do it because it thinks it's about to blow away something... (ie checkout a new file on top of an untracked one)

I believe that you can set case sensitivity as well. There has definitely been a lot of discussion on the subject and how to deal with it. I just don't remember how to configure it.
