I've run into a problem with git. Basically I set to false core.ignorecase because I wanted to change the case of the names of some folders (since I'm under OSX with a case-insensitive filesystem, the changes weren't shown otherwise). When I pulled my data, I've noticed that now every renamed folder appears twice on the repository, with both the old and the new name. I don't know what to do to remove the old folders since they don't appear locally (I've try to set core.ignorecase to true again but it isn't helping).

May be a workaround similar to this comment in an msysgit issue (for another case-insensitive OS: Windows) could help?
I've encountered this same issue. Refactored a package name in Eclipse and switching to a previous build broke due to the folder name not reverting. I'm using Windows 7, Git 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0
My folder was renamed in Windows to "
folder" but was displayed as "Folder" in Git.
I fixed the issue by renaming it to "Folder" in Windows and then running:
git mv "Folder" "Folder2"
git mv "Folder2" "folder"
Note that since git 2.0.1 (June 2014), git mv Folder folder should just work!
