That's odd. When the repository is first created, git will do a test to see whether the filesystem supports case-sensitivity, and will set core.ignorecase if it does not. Might this repository have been created on a different filesystem, and then moved onto the case-insensitive filesystem? Or might it have been created by something other than core git? I don't know whether one can create a repo in TortoiseGit, or if so how it does so. In any case, try doing: git config core.ignorecase true and see if that clears up your problems. -Peff
