Two consecutive clones of a remote produces different files

Hi All.

I have experienced something weird today.

I have a repository hosted on a GitLab server on my LAN and when I clone that repository to a linux box and a windows box I get different files!

It is very hard to explain in words, so I have recorded my desktop while reproducing it, which I can do consistently:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5234017/git-clone-produces-different-results.ogv

I have no ideas what is wrong or why it behaves the way it does, but I am actually pretty scared now. The repository has been updated from as a subtree from another repository, but that should not create such behavior?

Can anybody give me some hints on what may be wrong and how I might get identical clones again?

Cheers,
Morten

Just a blind guess, but might you have two files with names that differ only in case, and on Windows one is overwriting the other because you have a case-insensitive filesystem?

Try:

git ls-files -s | grep -i src/LogEventSubscriber.h

to see what is in the index (which is case-sensitive, and is the source from which git checks the files out into the working tree).

Hi Jeff.

Hmmm. You are the master of blind guessing - spot on.
Also, that is kind of embaressing to me. However, should your way cross mine, you hereby have a voucer for a drink after your choice as long as it is beer.

Thanks,
Morten.
