This was the monster thread on it:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/70688

Linus added support for the case-insensitivity aliasing issue:

  1102952 (Make git-add behave more sensibly in a case-insensitive environment,
           2008-03-22)
  6835550 (When adding files to the index, add support for
case-independent matches,
           2008-03-22)
