Your repository contains two files which have the same name after casefolding, BIOS.BIN and bios.bin. This makes Windows 10 upset and git picks one at random to check out. Since I assume you don't need both (?) here is a patch that deletes lowercase "bios.bin", as it is older.

If BIOS.BIN and bios.bin are in fact both still needed for some situation, I suggest giving one of them a different name so that both can coexist on a typical Windows formatted drive.

A workaround exists on this website:

But some apps might not properly work with this workaround

The two files are different, so throwing out one is not ideal solution

Possibly they both should be renamed then?

Acumos AVGA2 - BIOS.bin and
ATI charger VGA - BIOS.bin ?

I was curious if the proper name would be VGAWONDER+ or VGA Charger.

http://vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/72-ati-28800-5-vga-charger has a copy, and the readme for PCEM also calls it VGA Charger

The BIOS.BIN is available from https://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/cpu/item/130-cirrus-logic-cl-gd5402-acumos-avga2

I downloaded the BIOS images from that site and compared SHA1.

Renaming bios.bin to ATI VGA Charger.bin might need PCem change.

Safest might be to just rename BIOS.BIN to Acumos AVGA2.bin, but yeah I agree both should be renamed.
