This is an interesting side effect of Linux being case-sensitive, and MacOS/Windows not.
When a Mac/Windows user clones this project, its git status is automatically tainted
by PROJECTS being deleted.
$ git clone [email protected]:jbertran/casesensitive
[...]
$ cd casesensitive
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
deleted: PROJECTS
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
WTF? Let's stash this
$ git stash
Saved working directory and index state WIP on master: 75aadfd Add a `PROJECTS` file at the same level
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

???? What? Stash again?
$ git stash

And so on. Git may well have case-sensitive information, but it happily translates patches as-is for the file system, and if the file system is case-insensitive, well...
A fun half hour figuring out this issue.
