This comes up on the list fairly often. A couple of recent threads are: https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/cagyf7-e3-0siqweox-ulotwcccy5msxg6zh+dro6zqpkqtq...@mail.gmail.com/t/#u This also comes up for files within a repository: https://public-inbox.org/git/trinity-4a160867-2036-4f8a-8363-7bf2e021d840-1558184320864@3c-app-gmx-bs48/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/t/#u The replies to the first thread explain the behavior, why it does what it does, and why it hasn't been changed yet. It happens on case-insensitive macOS filesystems and on NTFS on Windows. Hope this helps! Bryan
