Android Studio - .iml file changes its name

I have kind of a strange problem.

As I have read in this Question I have to add my .iml files to Git, because I am not using Maven.

But the .iml file in the Root-Folder changes its name depending on the Foldername the Project is cloned to :

Project Cloned to Folder "Test" the iml is --> Test.iml
Project Cloned to Folder "ProjectName"     --> Projectname.iml

How should this work, if I have to add the .iml File to Git, because People can clone the repository to whatever folder they like.

Seems impossible to use different names for a tracked file in different repositories.

An alternative may be to keep the project with the .iml file in the sub-folder of the git root folder. In this way, no matter what folder people clone to, the name of the sub-folder for the project is not changed and so does the .iml file.
