It may have been created through the Visual Studio source provider for
Git, which is configured to use TortoiseGit which in turn uses msysGit.
But I have not written any of those programmes so I cannot guarantee for
what they do.

'git config core.ignorecase' now outputs "true" but I can still commit
the same file (modified) twice. So this doesn't help.
Meanwhile I have browsed my other code projects and found that the
designer-generated file name is sometimes with a "D" and sometimes with
a "d", so it's usually inconsistent. I haven't figured out where that
comes from but it means that this is a common issue that Git needs to
handle well to be usable on Windows. But we're not there yet.
