**Likely Problem discovered!** I copied the whole remote repo (was residing on a Linux machine accessed via SMB) and pasted it into my Mac. The problem was resolved. It is likely something to do with the fact that Mac OS filesystem is **case-insensitive**. I discovered this issue when I tried to copy that remote repo with ``cp`` rather than ``tar``ing it first.
