Let's say I want to have .gitignore be case insensitive with respect
to matches so I can simplify the file by not having [D][d]ebug sorts
of messes. But let's say I also want to support files whose names only
differ by case (just like Unix supports). Can your current patch
series support this? Does the current patch series break this?
Could you share how this would or would not work, and if not, how you
might accomplish this?
With this patch series, you are either on a case sensitive file system
(core.ignorecase = false) or a case insensitive file system
(core.ignorecase = true).
There is no specific configuration for .gitignore case insensitivity.
It only pays attention to core.ignorecase.
This is something that could be added, but I don't fully understand the
need. On case sensitive file systems, the case of the resultant
filename is guaranteed. If you have both a Debug/ and debug/ directory,
I would expect two entries in the .gitignore.
