Howdy git gurus,

I have the dubious distinction of working with a remote repo (master) 
that has a class loader run-time error when cloned, built and executed.

The reason for the runtime issue is a directory hierarchical path has to 
directories (folders) with the same name spelling but one of the 
directories is camel-cased. The package names are the same.

The compiler doesn't care but the run-time class loader has an issue 
with the 2 'same like named' classes.

How to remove the offending directories and files at the locally cloned 
repo but not push 'deleted' directories and files back to origin/master 
the remote repo?

Please advise.

Regards.

```

This email did not resolve from here: David Brown <david@davidwbrown.name>

It is somewhat unclear, which issue the class loader has.
What does 
git ls-files | grep -i "sameNameBitDifferent"
say ?

What do you mean with 
"How to remove the offending directories" ?

Just run
rm -rf "offending directories" ?

Or, may be
git mv dir1 NewDir1

If you don't want to push, you don't have to, or what do I miss ?
