Does the repository have similar paths distinguished only by case? Try
looking at the output of:
git ls-tree HEAD
If your file system is case-insensitive, then it might not be possible
to represent the repository contents on disk (git has some workarounds
to handle case-insensitivty, but fundamentally such filesystems cannot
represent "FOO" and "foo" with different contents, and you are best off
not trying to store that in your repository).
