"p4 rename" works just fine changing the case.
You seem to be struggling with Windows, which are case-sensitive on create but case-insensitive on subsequent operations.
If you go to any system where OS is case-sensitive, you would not have problems.
On Windows, I would probably have to run the following sequence of commands:
p4 edit foo
move foo boo
move boo Foo
p4 rename foo Foo
p4 submit
How does this work for you?

How about making rename work? I know it would probably be a quarter long
task,
but some users will appreciate that dialog to rename files in P4V actually
works
even if it's only to change letter casing of files and even if underlying
server is somewhere on the moon in parallel universe; e.g. regardless what
the
server setup is like this should just work and not require special ninja
knowledge weird rituals deleting and creating files. Server should be
reasonable
smart to figure out that request was to change letter casing in a file name and
do the right thing.
