By any chance, were different operating systems or file systems involved in creation of this problem? There are file systems which care about the capitalization, and others = don't. So if you have a file system which doesn't care about capitalization of the folder/file name, you can use a different capitalization and it still works. If you take the code to another system then, which is a bit more careful there are problems of = course. The main question which remains, is how is Git involved? i.e. would it also happen if you just transfer a tarball?
