Remember: GNU/Linux and other UNIX systems can make files that are case-sensitive, Windows can't make files that are case-sensitive (lemmy.world)

Huh, what makes this a use case in favor of case sensitive file names? How does git use this feature?

Create multiple branches that only differ in cases from a Unix OS so it breaks git for Windows users in the same project.

We had a repo with some really weird (filename) case issues on Mac also. I could only fix it on my home Linux machine, by deleting all the affected files, committing that, then restoring them with all lowercase names. Only time I've dealt with that in 20 years but it can happen!
