    <p>What version of Git are you using? And on What platform?</p> <p>Depending on the OS, you may have some case-sensitive filename issue wich could bring this error message, as shown in <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg06281.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this thread</a></p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p>I renamed <code>CONTRIB/ChangeLog</code> to <code>CONTRIB/ChangeLog.old</code> and tried again and this time it complained about <code>contrib/README</code>.<br> Are the errors because of something I did? I</p> <p>I believe this may be caused by the fact that I have renamed <code>CONTRIB</code> to <code>contrib</code>.<br> On a system which has no distinction between upper and lowercase names, maybe this leads to a conflict?</p> </blockquote> <p>Try removing the entire <code>CONTRIB</code> directory. If that fails, try to get a new clone of the repo.</p> </blockquote> <p>This fixed it. Thanks.</p> </blockquote> <hr> <blockquote> <p>But, once I added a copy of the file (which I need) and committed it, I tried to clone again and am back to the original failure message</p> </blockquote> <p>That to me screams <code>core.ignorecase</code> set to true</p> <blockquote> <p><code>core.ignorecase</code><br> If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive, like FAT.<br> For example, if a directory listing finds "<code>makefile</code>" when git expects "<code>Makefile</code>", git will assume it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as "<code>Makefile</code>".</p> <p>The default is false, except <code>git-clone(1)</code> or <code>git-init(1)</code> will probe and set <code>core.ignorecase</code> true if appropriate when the repository is created.</p> </blockquote> <p>Could you check if <code>git config -l</code> contains a <code>core.ignorecase</code> setting?</p>
