I first installed everything on my laptop, coded some stuff and then pushed
to github. Apparently something went wrong because there was a new
directory, while at first the directory was OurProjectsources, there now was
a new directory called OurProjectSources. Weird since my local directory has
the s not capitalized.
I work on a windows PC while the original author works on a Mac, could this
be the problem?
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.

The following is on next from git.git:
(And more commits fixing more core.ignorecase issues)
You might give it a try.

Author: Joshua Jensen <jjensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Support case folding in git fast-import when core.ignorecase=true
When core.ignorecase=true, imported file paths will be folded to match
existing directory case.
