It also happens on 4.6.4f.
Delete library folder and restart editor can solve the problem.
It is still annoying!

@DBURDEN1: I agree, after few restores from backup there is a need to reimport whole library from scratch, because restoring does not give effects. But in a short term it is some temporary solution.

In my experience, making backups of the Library folder is not worth any time it might save you--if it saves any at all. It seems like when Unity detects any unexpected change with the Library folder, it wants to re-import the entire project, effectively "deleting" the Library folder itself.

We have a huge project too and reimporting library is taking about 4 hours too. It can happen even every day! Part of our team had to switch back to Unity 4.
The workaround may be making a backups of whole Library folder as often as possible. When the error occurs just remove broken Library and replace with backuped - it will reimport some new assets but Project will be working for some time. But... its f*** annoying copying folders all the time.
The problem occurs not only when you change asset's name. It occurs when you are modifying project from outside Unity too, i.e. when source control system is used.
Unity Devs, this issue should have highest Priority and Severity and should be fixed immediately! A lot of people is wasting their time and money because of this bug. It prevents of using Unity at all...

We are 15 developpers and it appends randomly 2,3 times per week. Each time it's about 4 hours lost !!

Does anyone have a better "workaround" for this than deleting and reimporting the entire Library whenever files are renamed or moved? Are there more specifics to watch out for such as the "Occurs when you change any char in the asset's name from lowercase to uppercase."? We have been doing some project cleanup and everyone is losing a ton of time reimporting Library every day. Thanks!

Every time this happens, it causes us to lose hours of that day, because we have to delete our libraries and wait for them to reimport in order to run our game. We have a very large project, and it takes a very long time to reimport everything. Please, please, fix this.
