I am doing a clone of a git repository and I am finding changed files. I have looked at some of the other posts with similar issues, but as of yet the steps don't seem to help. I have tried adjusting the autocrlf settings, the case settings and some of the other configurations, but I am still seeing modified files, when I do 'git status'.
The configurations from the core section of the .git/config is:
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = false
precomposeunicode = true
autocrlf = false

I did the following after each config change:
rm -rf *
git reset --hard
git status
The Git repository is git://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.3.x.git and the current operating system is MacOS X 10.9.5. Git version is 1.9.3. File system is HFS+ (case-insensitive).
Turns out there are files in the repository that exist in both uppercase and lowercase form, in the same directory. For example 'dictionary' and 'Dictionary'. The solution on the MacOS X side is to create a case-sensitive HFS+ disk image, mount that and then checkout the repository in the mounted path.
Command used:
hdiutil create -size 1g -fs "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" -volname "OpenFOAM Development" openfoam-development.dmg
It would have probably been better to avoid the issue causing the problem, but I just need to accept this limitation.
