This comes up on the list fairly often. A couple of recent threads are: https://public-inbox.org/git/d4d8d8208b6a41c380ecf20807763bcf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGyf7-E3-0SiqweoX-uLotwcCcy5MSxG6Zh+DRo6zQPKqTQQpA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/#u This also comes up for files within a repository: https://public-inbox.org/git/trinity-4a160867-2036-4f8a-8363-7bf2e021d840-1558184320864@3c-app-gmx-bs48/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/AANLkTi=87fUaOH3Y0PVeeH5N7oCVVJyKY3jsf93jw-t7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/t/#u The replies to the first thread explain the behavior, why it does what it does, and why it hasn't been changed yet. It happens on case-insensitive macOS filesystems and on NTFS on Windows. Hope this helps! Bryan
