git still untracked after add

Question

Everytime I do git status there is this folder that appears as untracked.

$ git status
# On branch master
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       src/error/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

Even after doing git add ., git commit -a the folder at src/error keeps showing up as untracked. Other unstaged files get commited everytime only this folder keeps giving problems. Also git doesnt report any errors. What could be the problem here ?

Answer 1

I found the problem and the solution this is what happened:

First src/error was called src/Error when i changed the case locally the foldername was changed but in git it was still commited as src/Error. Windows is case-insensitive so what i did was remove the folder commit and add it again with the right casing.
