Yes. It's probably a bug, perhaps related to the case-insensitive filesystem (we've seen similar weird "phantom changes right after clone" bugs before).

Are there other files in the repository that differ from this path only in capitalization? Can you show us the output of "git ls-files"?

Is it possible to make this repo public, or at least available privately to git developers?

You mentioned v1.7.8. Do you see the bug with other git versions? If not, can you try bisecting?
