You can easily say !CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS as the prerequiste, so I do
not see the point of this.  I do not see the point of "nuts", either.

But it probably is a moot point as I do not think you should do the
prerequisite at all.

Instead, you can explicitly set the core.ignorecase configuration,
i.e. "git -c core.ignorecase=yes/no", and possibly "apply --cached"
so that you do not have to worry about the case sensitivity of the
filesystem at all.

Style.  Redirection operator ">" sticks to its operand, i.e.

	echo "This is some content in the file." >file1 &&

> +	rename from file1
> +	rename to File1
> +	EOF

You are better off not writing the diff output manually.  Instead,
you can let the test write it for you, e.g.

	echo "This is some content in the file." >file1 &&
	git update-index --add file1 &&
        file1blob=$(git rev-parse :file1) &&
	git commit -m "Initial - file1" &&
	git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$file1blob,File1 &&
	git rm --cached file1 &&
	git diff --cached -M HEAD >case-only-rename-patch

If you want to be extra careful not to rely on your filesystem
corrupting the pathnames you feed (e.g. the redireciton to "file1"
might create file FILE1 on MS-DOS ;-), you could even do:

	file1blob=$(echo "This is some content in the file." |
		    git hash-object -w --stdin) &&
	file2blob=$(echo "A completeloy different contents." |
		    git hash-object -w --stdin) &&
	git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$file1blob,file1 &&

	git commit -m "Initial - file1" &&
	git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$file1blob,File1 &&
	git rm --cached file1 &&
	git diff --cached -M HEAD >rename-file1-to-File2 &&

	git reset --hard HEAD &&
        git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$file1blob,file2 &&
	git rm --cached file1 &&
	git diff --cached -M HEAD >rename-file1-to-file2 &&

	# from here on, HEAD has file1 and file2
	git reset --hard HEAD &&
	git update-index --add --cacheinfo 100644,$file2blob,file2 &&
	git commit -m 'file1 and file2'

> +	test_must_fail git apply --index conflict_patch

And then, you could use --cached (not --index) to bypass the working
tree altogether, which is a good way to test the feature without
getting affected by the underlying filesystem.  Check both case
sensitive and case insensitive cases:

	# Start from a known state
	git reset --hard HEAD &&
	test_must_fail git -c core.ignorecase=no apply --cached rename-file1-to-file2 &&

	# Start from a known state
	git reset --hard HEAD &&
	test_must_fail git -c core.ignorecase=yes apply --cached rename-file1-to-file2 &&

> +'
> +
> +test_expect_success CASE_SENSITIVE_FS 'refuse to apply case-only rename patch with conflict, in case-sensitive FS' '

Lose the prerequisite, replace --index with --cached, and force core.ignorecase
to both case insensitive and sensitive to check the behaviour.

Likewise, try both sensitive and insensitive one.

Thanks.
