Hope it covers everything:

$ git mv solJW.R solRandom.r $ git mv solRandom.r solRandom.R fatal: destination exists, source=solRandom.r, destination=solRandom.R $ ls mouse_evaluator.R mouse_world.R scenariusze.R sol1.R sol2.R sol3.R solRandom.r $ git mv solRandom.r solRandom.R fatal: destination exists, source=solRandom.r, destination=solRandom.R $? -bash: 128: command not found $ git mv solRandom.r solRandom.X $ git mv solRandom.X solRandom.R $ man git $ git --version git version 1.7.5.4 $ touch abc $ touch Abc $ git add abc $ git add Abc $ 

Didn't have time to check whether is it a known bug or already solved in the latest version.

Kind regards, Jarosław Wódka.

Hej Jarek, That's a known limitation on case insensitve file system under Windows or Mac OS. We had a diskussion about this some time ago:
