As others have pointed out, this is not a git issue -- you'd have run
into the same problem with a simple tarball of the kernel source because
of the filesystem case insensitivity. Cygwin provides managed mounts to
work around this Win32 limitation, at the cost of non-Cygwin apps seeing
uglified filenames and a decreased effective maximum path length due to
the mangling.
