>>Now I'm keeping lots of my files on a Samba share (well not exactly Samba, it's a shared drive of the host for a W7 virtual box) where the filesystem, being a linux thing, is case sensitive. I've had issues with certain folders because some of them would be scanned (in my screen savior app, see downloads) multiple times. Eventually found there were two such folder, one called "...\some stuff" and the other "..\Some Stuff". Which are ok under linux; when VFP sees them it still sees them one at a time (in FSO's oFolder.SubFolders collection) but then looks it up in the table lowercased - because I didn't foresee this, having initially developed this for a filesystem managed by Windows, so decided to ignore the case. Mind you, the filesystem on that drive is actually NTFS :).

>I have the same problem using SVN, not because of the GetFile dialog, but when editing table structure or compile menus etc it would change the case of the files. For this I try to adapt the case of the files to the same as it gets created but it seems to be sometimes erratic.

"Sometimes" is often enough. And yes, it's not the getfile() or adir() without the extra parameter, it's all the editors which may turn uppercase when saving, and you never know when.
