Git newbie here :)
Faced casing-related problem: file aspnetdb.mdf was removed from repository several commits ago, I decided to restore it from some of earlier commits and did it is such way:
git checkout master~3 aspnetdb.mdf
wanted to get file from 3rd back commit
But git said, that there was no such file.
Then I executed following:
git checkout master~3 ASPNETDB.MDF
which worked fine - I had got needed file.
HOWEVER. Command git checkout master~3 aspnetdb_log.ldf (with low-case file name) command executed fine. During all dev. Process both files were processing in same way (no hack renames etc. :) ).
How explain such behavior? What had I done wrong?
As mentioned in the comment, since you are using Git on a case insensitive system (Windows), try and set core.ignorecase properly. Check with:
$ git-config --list
If not set:
$ git-config --global core.ignorecase true
