This may be confusing:
It's the "file names" that differ, not the file content.
And in the rest of the patch the term "path" is used.
How about this:

Identify path names that are different with respect to case sensitivity.

The "fix-path" doesn't tell a user what exactly is fixed.
Something like "fix-path-case" may be more self-explaining,
but I would simply use "--ignore-case", which is more in line
with Git. (But this is debatable)

The cd command should be in a subshell:

     (
         cd $git &&
         test -f xxxx &&
         test_this_and_that
     )


Writing shell scripts isn't easy,
there is some information in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines
and
t/README

> +		find . | grep two/File2.txt &&
Should we make sure that two/File2.txt exist?
Then the "find | grep" feels like overkill.
The line
test -f  two/File2.txt &&
could do the same (or do I miss something ?)
