How did you copy the files?  How are you viewing the file names?  On what
file system are the files stored?  On a FAT file system without long file
name support, **ALL** file names are upper-case.  It's only the
long-file-name extension that allows lower case.

If the tool you use to examine the file names only understands the
short-name format, this is exactly what you see.  On a FAT system, the name
"__init__.py" is stored twice: once in a short-name entry called
"__INIT__.PY", and again in a long-name entry that has the real name.
