Any ideas what might be causing this? I notice that your "add" and "check-ignore" commands differ in the case of "UI". I think both commands should work correctly when on a case-insensitive filesystem (and a few checks I did after setting core.ignorecase manually seem to confirm this). But maybe try it with "ui" in the check-ignore command and see if that changes anything? Another thing I notice is that you're using Windows-style back-slashes for the path separators (whereas internally in Git, everything is front-slashes). AFAIK that's supposed to work everywhere on Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are corner cases where it doesn't. Does switching to: git check-ignore ./Source/ui/Website/LiveFeeds/Releases/IO/ReleasesSerializer.cs help? -Peff
