Upper Case Branch-names is weird and inconvenient

[Algo-ryth-mix]

Why change this ?

There are numerous reasons to not have any captialization in your branches but here are the three biggest problems

• Git-workflows are mostly preconfigured to use lower-case branches
  (i.e.: cpplint will by default check master not Master)

• Windows will mess with your stuff
  ( i.e.: to windows "Feature" and "feature" are the same folder but for git they produce different hashes)

• Windows will mess with stuff of others too
  ( when someone who follows the "standard" pattern of naming their branches feature/some-feature, then tries at any other time tries to clone a branch called "Feature/SomeOtherFeature", git will not allow him/her)

How to change this

locally the branches would need to be renamed with
git checkout <BranchName> && git branch -m <branch-name> if you work on windows the offending files in .git/refs/heads should be deleted. afterwards upload the branch with git push --set-upstream origin <branch-name>
