That's odd. When the repository is first created, git will do a test to
see whether the filesystem supports case-sensitivity, and will set
core.ignorecase if it does not. Might this repository have been created
on a different filesystem, and then moved onto the case-insensitive
filesystem?

Or might it have been created by something other than core git? I don't
know whether one can create a repo in TortoiseGit, or if so how it does
so.

In any case, try doing:

  git config core.ignorecase true

and see if that clears up your problems.
