Just a small note that I forgot in the first email:

For the record, this issue has been discussed on stackoverflow <URL: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2528589/git-windows-case-sensitive-file- names-not-handled-properly > and the last comment there suggests an alternative way to work around the case-colliding problem without having to remove either file from the repo:

Use sparse-checkout to exclude the case-colliding files from the working tree.

Obviously, this isn't a permanent solution, but I thought I'd just throw it out there, as something to consider until a more permanent solution is in place.
