I don't think this is how core.ignorecase is intended to work. It does
not trigger case-insensitive lookup in the worktree (this is still done
by the OS), but it does a case-insensitive lookup in the index. That is,
given a worktree entry 'readme', it allows to find the index entry 'README'.
IMO, it is only correct that 'git blame file' operates on 'FILE' if
'FILE' exists in the index, and in only that case, it does not matter
how the 'file' is named in the worktree.
