Steps to reproduce and illustration is at the end of this email. Git checkout does not work to remove the file changes. This behavior seems to be reproducible across multiple computers. Is this a bug? How can I fix the repository?

This repository has multiple files that differ only in case.  I take it
from your hostname that you're on a Mac, and by default macOS uses a
case-insensitive file system.

Since the two files aren't identical, one or the other will show as
modified.  You probably want to adjust the repository so that it doesn't
have files differing only in case or use a case-sensitive file system.
