The problem is that you are using Windows or Mac, which have (more or less) case insensitive file systems.

The easiest solution (took it from https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/51619) would be to rename the file to something completely different, commit, rename the file again to the name you want and commit again, this time amending the old commit.

If Android Studio does not support amend commits, you could go with the terminal commands from the answer above.
