To track the changes I simply rm all the working directory, unzip the new SDK, then git add . and git commit -am "new sdk". In this process an issue with an assembly file with preprocessing was incorrectly named .s instead of .S. In the next version the correction was made, but Git was unable to detect it.

The thing is that the underlying file system (under cygwin, Windows in general, or MacOs) treats a.s the same as a.S
So Git can not do better than the file system.
What you can do:
git mv a.S a.s
git commit
(This can be done by a script)
