git under windows doesn't check case of letters in filename. So when
one rename for example images from *.JPG to *.jpg, git doesn't files
in a repository so when one deliver this repo on *nix -system, old
filenames preserve and this matters.
It can be very confusing when some of assets in your website on server
can't be loaded after deploy, though on windows all was ok.
Possibly git windows shall identify changed case of symbols and
suggested to rename files in commit.

It does (but this is disabled by default),
you can try 
git config core.ignorecase false
/Torsten
