Lock Fail [message #1728601]

Using Eclipse Luna (4.4.2) for some time now, egit worked great initially. About a month or two ago I started getting a [lock fail] message for one of the branches, when doing a pull/fetch from remote.

I noticed that the branch it was complaining about started with an upper case letter in my Remote Tracking folder in the Eclipse Git Repository but was lower case on GitHub. Being just a hotfix branch that I didn't own, I didn't give it much thought. That was until I got a new machine and then my problems worsened (new machine has Mars.2 JEE (4.5.2)).

Cloning my project from GitHub, I noticed that egit capitalized the first letter in ALL my branch names. After cloning, subsequent fetches/pull result in [lock fail] for any existing branches, and (again) auto-capitalization of the first letter of any new branches.

The [lock fail] is preventing me from updating my branches. Please help.

Update: Installing Luna (4.4.2) on the new machine doesn't change anything.

Update #2: Only the hotfix branches are being converted to upper-case.

Update #3: Turns out one of the hotfix branches (on GitHub) begins with an uppercase letter, and may be throwing egit off - but why would it convert the other branches?

Update #4: Deleting the branches, and re-fetching didn't work (still fetched as upper case).

Solution: Delete the repository, and use command line to clone the project (fetches correct case). Hopefully future branches do not cause any issues.
