I’m encounter a problem due to my own stupidity… #1 I pushed a project named Android to my repository. #2 I `mv Android android`, cause I think it’s no good to use the uppercase as my project name. #3 I pushed it to my repository again…

I found that there `Adnroid` and `android` exist in my repository, and I want to delete the former one. So I tried to `git pull && git rm Android`, but guess what? I can’t pull the `Android`……

I found that OS X is case-insensitive, while github repository is case-sensitive, thus I can’t `rm Android` any more. It becomes a gosht in my repository and I can never delete it!
OS: OS X
