Taking a look at the repository's file list on GitHub[1], it shows that this is because HFS and APFS by default are case-insensitive. The file listing shows that there is a "nanoc.gitignore" and "Nanoc.gitignore". On APFS and HFS, those are the same file. As a result, one overwrites the other. This is discussed pretty regularly on the list[2], so you can find more details there.

Hope this helps! Bryan
