Does git ignore capitalization changes in file names?

Question

I have branch A and branch B.

On branch A, I have a package with the name xyz and I change the package name to xYz. Next, I commit all of my changes and then switch to branch B. Now, once I switch to branch A, the package that I changed still has the value of xyz which is NOT what I committed. This happens in numerous cases.

The question: Does git ignore capitalization changes in file names or is this an issue on my part? I am using the SourceTree client if that helps.

You can try to set (as mentioned in the question "Git on windows: Can't switch branch after renaming a file (only changed case)"):

git config core.ignorecase false

And see if the issue persists.
