Description
Duplicating a file in Tree View can cause the original file to be wiped if you just change the case of the file name.

- Change the case of a character in the filename (e.g. change Foo.txt to FOo.txt)

The original and duplicated file to exist, both with the original content.
Actual behavior:
The duplicated file is not created, and the original is wiped.
Reproduces how often:
100%
Versions
1.45.0
Additional Information
Occuring on macOS 10.15.4
In the majority of cases, macOS has case-insensitive file systems (or file systems that are functionally so). So we shouldn't be allowing you to name a file that differs only by case. We won't be able to deliver you the expected behavior, but we should show an error instead of wiping the original.
looks like atom/tree-view tries to handle this but something there isn't working on macOS.
