Ignoring case when renaming files to same name case modified

Platform: Window XP

Version: 8.02 and SVN 5241

Description:

When renaming a file in a project, if the file name is the same (case ignored), it does not rename it.

**This bug only applies to case-insensitive file systems.**

Wrong Behavior:

Renaming "file.cpp" to "FILE.CPP" will have no effect.

Expected Behavior:

Renaming "file.cpp" to "FILE.CPP" will rename "file.cpp" to "FILE.CPP".

---

I believe the reason why this happens is because it checks for the existence of a file with the new file name, and since on Windows it is case insensitive, it finds the old file.

To fix this, it might be required to compare (case insensitive) the old and new names if the new name is already taken. If they are equal, rename the file. This should do it for all platforms.
