Good day,

I found a potential bug in Git for Windows. The bug can be reproduced as follows:

1. Modify a file so that it shows up as "untracked" when executing the
"git status" command.
2. Attempt to "git add" the file, but change the case of a single
letter. The command executes but no warning or error is displayed.
3. Execute "git status" again and it still shows the file as "untracked".

Please let me know if I am mistaken. I also have a screenshot demonstrating the "bug" which I cannot attach to this email, but which can be requested.

Have a great day.

Kind regards, Angelo Melonas
