Thank you for having a look.
The root cause of the issues will most probably be use of a case
insensitive file system on Windows (and Mac). There is a configuration
flag `core.ignoreCase` [1] that is normally auto detected that can be
used to decide when the checks should be done and advice [2] or warnings
given.
There are also similar case issues with branch names should you want to
go that far. In any case you should probably at least cover the full
utf-8 filenames, not just ascii ones.
To start to even think of fixing this bug I need to build the source for Windows, but I got lost on how to do that.
Does this help?

Ciao,

Is it correct that I should cross-compile from a POSIX system (GNU/Linux), using x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc and Gnulib to produce a static executable?
Am I missing something? How does people here build for Windows?
