This seems to be the commit:

t0050: Fix merge test on case sensitive file systems
On a case sensitive filesystem, "git reset --hard" might refuse to
overwrite a file whose name differs only by case, even if
core.ignorecase is set. It is not clear which circumstances cause this
behavior. This commit simply works around the problem by removing
the case changing file before running "git reset --hard".

===========
>Or did the test pass from the very beginning?
Hm, reading the commit, it seems as if the "root problem" still exist:
git reset --hard does not change the case of an existing file
What is the exist behvior?
My feeling is that the test as such deserves some more improvements,
the result of the merge is not checked, files are empty so that
the content is not checked.
Another improvement:
Running under Linux gives:
not ok 6 - add (with different case) # TODO known breakage
(and running under mingw failes)
Please stay tuned for more updates, thanks for reviewing.
