Thanks, I installed this.

Please in the future include in the log entry the preprocessor
condition, if any, of the change.  Here's the ChangeLog entry I
committed:

        * fileio.c (Frename_file) [DOS_NT]: Don't try to move directory to
        itself on DOS_NT platforms, if the old and new names are identical
        but for the letter-case.
