I first installed everything on my laptop, coded some stuff and then
pushed
to github. Apparently something went wrong because there was a new
directory, while at first the directory was OurProjectsources, there
now was
a new directory called OurProjectSources. Weird since my local
directory has
the s not capitalized.

I work on a windows PC while the original author works on a Mac,
could this
be the problem?

Yes, Mac OSX HFS+ filesystem ignores the case by default (you'll need
to reformat to change this). So OurProjectSources and OurProjectsources
both refers to the same directory on Mac OS X. On Linux there are two
different directories

This frequently causes issues here too. An example:

me@mac:t $ git init r
Initialized empty Git repository in /private/tmp/t/r/.git/
me@mac:r (master) $ mkdir OurProjectsources
me@mac:r (master) $ touch OurProjectsources/a
me@mac:r (master) $ git add OurProjectsources/a
me@mac:r (master) $ git commit -m "initial import"
[master (root-commit) c2cb2f3] initial import
0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 OurProjectsources/a
me@mac:r (master) $ mv OurProjectsources/ OurProjectSources
me@mac:r (master) $ touch OurProjectSources/b
me@mac:r (master) $ git add OurProjectSources/b
me@mac:r (master) $ git commit -m "added b"
[master 4de780c] added b
0 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 OurProjectSources/b
me@mac:r (master) $ git stat
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
me@mac:r (master) $ scp -r .git linux:t.git
me@mac:r (master) $ ssh linux

me@linux:~ $ git clone t.git/
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/me/t/.git/
me@linux:~ $ cd t
me@linux:~/t $ ls
OurProjectsources OurProjectSources
me@linux:~/t $ find *
OurProjectsources
OurProjectsources/a
OurProjectSources
OurProjectSources/b

And there it is, our mess. The mac user accidentally created
two different directories but didn't see them.

The following is on next from git.git:
(And more commits fixing more core.ignorecase issues)
You might give it a try.

commit 50906e04e8f48215b0b09841686709b92a2ab2e4
Author: Joshua Jensen [off-list ref]
Date: Sun Oct 3 09:56:46 2010 +0000

Support case folding in git fast-import when core.ignorecase=true

When core.ignorecase=true, imported file paths will be folded to match
existing directory case.

Hm,
that didn't work.

See the test on my linux box, after the clone:


config core.ignorecase true && rm -rf * && git reset --hard && ls && git 
config core.ignorecase
HEAD is now at 2dac314 Added b
OurProjectsources  OurProjectSources
true


  git --version
git version 1.7.2.1.105.g50906

More work seems to be needed, sorry for the noise.
