HFS+ (the filesystem used by OSX) is case insensitive unless you toggle some magic switch, so git set core.ignorecase to true on clone (the config manpage claims its done on init or clone, in any case) which makes it assume that Cloudsponge.php and CloudSponge.php are the same file (which in a case-insensitive filesystem is true). If you want to use OSX to develop this project, you'll have to either rename one of those files or set your filesystem to be case-sensitive (and unset core.ignorecase afterwards). From what I've heard, the OS itself will work fine with a case-sensitive filesystem, but not all applications might. YMMV. cmn
