The reported issue is one that doesn't have to do with the naming of the branch itself, but git accepting it due to how the ref backend interacts with the FS. As noted I've run into e.g. people writing unportable "head.." code, which we happily resolve to "HEAD"., ditto "master", "Master", "MASTER" etc. on OSX.
