Description
Issue Description
While our primary environment is Linux, we need to support git clones on Windows. Some packages (fedora's chromium for example) have files that differ only in case:
0001-Implement-support-for-PPC64-on-Linux.patch - patches crashpad (third_party/crashpad/crashpad/)
0001-Implement-support-for-ppc64-on-Linux.patch - patches breakpad (third_party/breakpad/breakpad/)
We can fix these trivially by overlays, but we need to know about them. When rendering files, error on any files that would collide.
Expected Changes
azldev comp render should generate an error, and suggest creating an overlay, for any files that would collide.
This isn't a 'render failed', just a tool error (ie we finish the render, but mark it as error in the table).
