Hi Frank,

Your system Clock looks to be providing the wrong date for your emails.

The last XP version was https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.10.0.windows.1 so you may want to upgrade to that. (see FAQs https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/FAQ)

It won't solve the capitalisation problem - that is a Windows FS issue. Git assumes case matters, but the FS will fetch directories and branches case insensitively.

Philip
