Here is a script to reproduce the issue that works for me in Git Bash:

============================================= #!/bin/bash

#create repo with corresponding structure mkdir restore_bug_test cd restore_bug_test mkdir incl mkdir src touch incl/test_file.hpp touch src/test_file.cpp git init git add . git commit -m"initial"

#add a couple of commits echo "1" >> incl/test_file.hpp echo "1" >> src/test_file.cpp git commit -am"1" echo "2" >> incl/test_file.hpp echo "2" >> src/test_file.cpp git commit -am"2"

#reproduce bug git restore -s HEAD~ -- *test_file.* git status ===============================================

Haven't checked filenames explicitly, but they haven't been changed manually. And there are no explicit case changes in the attached script.
