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. You asked Git to track Foo/bar.md and the file system says "yes, it's here" When you rename Foo/ into foo/, the file system still says "Foo/bar.md" is here. You need to tell git about the rename : git mv Foo/bar.md foo/bar.md Why does anybody think that setting "core.ignorecase false" will convince the file system to become case insensitive ?
