For example say I am on a branch other than master, checking out 'Master' will _work_, I will of course be on the right branch but git status will say I am on 'Master' (expected just 'master') and git branch will highlight no branch. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

This comes up on the list fairly often. A couple of recent threads are: https://public-inbox.org/git/d4d8d8208b6a41c380ecf20807763bcf@XCH15-05-02.nw.nos.boeing.com/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/CAGyf7-E3-0SiqweoX-uLotwcCcy5MSxG6Zh+DRo6zQPKqTQQpA@mail.gmail.com/t/#u This also comes up for files within a repository: https://public-inbox.org/git/trinity-4a160867-2036-4f8a-8363-7bf2e021d840-1558184320864@3c-app-gmx-bs48/t/#u https://public-inbox.org/git/AANLkTi=87fUaOH3Y0PVeeH5N7oCVVJyKY3jsf93jw-t7@mail.gmail.com/t/#u The replies to the first thread explain the behavior, why it does what it does, and why it hasn't been changed yet. It happens on case-insensitive macOS filesystems and on NTFS on Windows. Hope this helps! Bryan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
