Just a blind guess, but might you have two files with names that differ
only in case, and on Windows one is overwriting the other because you
have a case-insensitive filesystem?

Try:

  git ls-files -s | grep -i src/LogEventSubscriber.h

to see what is in the index (which is case-sensitive, and is the source
from which git checks the files out into the working tree).
