This is a follow up patch to one I posted mid last year specifically for
making .gitignore entries be processed in a case insensitive manner. I
have used the patch with success since then, but I was unable to make
the updates requested by list members.
Over the past month, I have been able to clean up the code and extend
the core.ignorecase=true support to better handle git status, ls-files,
log, add, and fast-import.
git status and add both use an update made to name-hash.c where
directories, specifically names with a trailing slash, can be looked up
in a case insensitive manner. After trying a myriad of solutions, this
seemed to be the cleanest. Does anyone see a problem with embedding the
directory names in the same hash as the file names? I couldn't find one,
especially since I append a slash to each directory name.
The new directory_exists_in_index_icase() duplicates some of the
functionality in directory_exists_in_index(). I don't understand some of
the functionality I just mindlessly cloned. Can anyone clue me in on
what directory_exists_in_index() achieves in the case of S_ISGITLINK()?
Updating match_one() bought case insensitive matching support for git
ls-files? Are there other side effects I haven't found yet?
The git add path case folding functionality is a somewhat radical
departure from what Git does now. It is described in detail in patch 6.
Does anyone have any concerns?
