Old package name: package com.packageName;

New package name: package com.packagename;

Reason for changing name: Package names are written in all lower case to avoid conflict with the names of classes or interfaces.

Issue: With normal gitpull, git won't identify it as changes and gives error in eclipse. I have noticed this issue solemnly on windows.

Workaround: I deleted the folder and ran git reset --hard

    What is your question? – Matt Jul 04 '21 at 06:28

    Sure, as there are case insensitive (e.g. Windows) and case sensitive file systems. According to the Java naming conventions, it would be `package com.package_name;` (not resulting in any case insensitive vs. sensitive file system issue). – howlger Jul 04 '21 at 07:04

    Why would you even *expect* Git to do this on its own? – torek Jul 04 '21 at 07:28

You can try and pull again (assuming you have your old repository state back) with first:

git config --global core.ignorecase false

It should be the default (false), but in your case, check if it was true with:

git config --show-scope --show-origin core.ignorecase

If not, your workaround was certainly a practical one.
