Comment(by sean.b.palmer@…):

 {{{
 $ which HEAD
 /opt/local/bin/HEAD

 $ port provides /opt/local/bin/HEAD
 /opt/local/bin/HEAD is not provided by a MacPorts port.
 }}}

 Presumably if I'd installed it myself it would be in /usr/local/bin, so
 I'm not sure how it came to be there. It's fairly old:

 {{{
 $ ls -al /opt/local/bin/HEAD
 -r-xr-xr-x   1 root  admin  14685 Mar 20  2007 /opt/local/bin/HEAD*
 }}}


 But I can't remember what circumstances might surround the installation.
 In any case, my shell managed to distinguish between the two correctly.
 How does it do so, if the filesystem is case-insensitive? Could MacPorts
 follow the same procedure to do so?
