we are moving from cvs to git.

we have some tags, which are differs only in the capitalization.
After cloning EGIT/JGIT stores them as file names in .git/refs

NTFS stores files only case insensitive. A file "a" and a file "A" can not exist in parallel. So EGIT is not able to deal with it.
As i can remember from my tests, after a gc they are stored in packed-refs files, so the limitation is not there/should not be there any more.

Is there a way to tell egit/jgit to use packed-refs during the cloning process?

git (scm) in the actual version does it during the clone process.
