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.
