I don't think it's intended as a "solution", it just lets the clobbering that is caused by the case insensitiveness happen.

So git just goes:

checkout content of README.md to README.md (OS creates README.md)
checkout content of README.MD to README.MD (OS overwrites README.md)

If you add a third or fourth file ... it would just continue, and file gets checked out first gets the filename and whichever file gets checked out last, gets the content.

thats better than Git just choosing a file to keep.
