Hi,
Just had to deal with a nasty cross-UNIX/Windows problem.
Two files in the repository were in the same direcory and had the same
name differing only by the case of some of the letters. While
checking them out, git wantonly confused them (conflated them into
one) and got confused about them.
I know it's an outlandish situation. Still, when git is in a
case-insensitive file system, it should at least check for this.

What it does it do if you have core.ignorecase set to on?
(And you did tell nothing about your platform and your Git version.)
