Yes, Mac OSX HFS+ filesystem ignores the case by default (you'll need to reformat to change this). So OurProjectSources and OurProjectsources both refers to the same directory on Mac OS X. On Linux there are two different directories This frequently causes issues here too. An example: me@mac:t $ git init r Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/t/r/.git/ me@mac:r (master) $ mkdir OurProjectsources me@mac:r (master) $ touch OurProjectsources/a me@mac:r (master) $ git add OurProjectsources/a me@mac:r (master) $ git commit -m "initial import" [master (root-commit) c2cb2f3] initial import 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 OurProjectsources/a me@mac:r (master) $ mv OurProjectsources/ OurProjectSources me@mac:r (master) $ touch OurProjectSources/b me@mac:r (master) $ git add OurProjectSources/b me@mac:r (master) $ git commit -m "added b" [master 4de780c] added b 0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) create mode 100644 OurProjectSources/b me@mac:r (master) $ git stat # On branch master nothing to commit (working directory clean) me@mac:r (master) $ scp -r .git linux:t.git me@mac:r (master) $ ssh linux me@linux:~ $ git clone t.git/ Initialized empty Git repository in /home/me/t/.git/ me@linux:~ $ cd t me@linux:~/t $ ls OurProjectsources OurProjectSources me@linux:~/t $ find * OurProjectsources OurProjectsources/a OurProjectSources OurProjectSources/b And there it is, our mess. The mac user accidentally created two different directories but didn't see them. ~/Andy
