<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>While Bitbucket will still make the names of repositories all lowercase it does allow mixed case names in the (https) checkout line (and converts them to all lower case internally). Ie this</p>
<div class="codehilite language-shell"><pre><span></span>git clone https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/Cactus.git
</pre></div>
<p>works to check out the <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactus.git" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactus.git</a> repository (lowercase “c”) and creates a directory “Cactus” with a copy of the flesh in it. The trick is still needed for <span class="ap-mention" data-atlassian-id="557058:cf051f66-042f-4a92-a2c7-f2be5a7912de">@Frank Löffler</span> ’s case of a repo with only a single thorn in its top-level directory. Eg <span class="ap-mention" data-atlassian-id="557058:bba61a26-7a03-4ff4-afc9-3582fa9722d2">@David Radice</span> ’s Boost thorn <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://github.com/dradice/Boost.git" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dradice/Boost.git</a></p>
