Sorry for sending x2.  I got a bounce notification the first time.

==== Yes, I am on a Mac. I just tried that, but I don’t think that completely fixed it. As you can see it tracks “foo/bar.md” and then it tracks “Foo/bar.md”. It still tracks both “foo” and “Foo” even tho only “Foo” exists in my dir after the rename.

I create a public repo on github with this repo https://github.com/KevinColemanInc/test

I am running git version 2.2.2.

11:41:57 ~/test $ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/kcoleman/test/.git/
11:42:03 ~/test (master #) $ git config core.ignorecase false
11:42:06 ~/test (master #) $ mkdir foo

11:42:26 ~/test/foo (master #) $ touch bar.md
11:42:30 ~/test/foo (master #) $ cd ..

11:42:46 ~/test (master) $ git status
