title: How do I get Visual Studio Code in Windows against WSL to be case sensitive?
body: <p>I am using Visual Studio Code 1.52.0 in Windows against a WSL filesystem.  The filesystem is marked case-sensitive in WSL:</p>
  <pre><code>mikebaz@PSTower-2020-06:~/code/test$ getfattr -n system.wsl_case_sensitive .
  # file: .
  system.wsl_case_sensitive=&quot;1&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>and correctly shows as case-sensitive in File Explorer (so there isn't a basic Windows issue here).  There are two folders with the same name, but different cases:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BW6ze.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/BW6ze.png" alt="two folders, &quot;Folder1&quot; and &quot;folder1&quot;, in File Explorer" /></a></p>
  <p>However, in Visual Studio Code, these folders are collapsed into one folder:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hYEnb.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/hYEnb.png" alt="Visual Studio Code EXPLORER view showing &quot;folder1&quot;" /></a></p>
  <p>This also impacts the source code status for the Git repo in the folder - Code seems confused.  Although there is a file and it's properly tracked and committed:</p>
  <pre><code>mikebaz@PSTower-2020-06:~/code/test/Folder1$ git status -u
  On branch master
  nothing to commit, working tree clean
  </code></pre>
  <p>the Code view insists that there's an untracked file:</p>
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RGPC2.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RGPC2.png" alt="Git status in Code showing the green &quot;U&quot; for &quot;Untracked&quot; under &quot;Changes&quot;" /></a></p>
  <p>How can I tell Visual Studio Code to stop trying to &quot;help&quot; me by collapsing the two folders and being confused as a result?</p>
