Is anything else then git-p4 known to rely on case folding? If not, I
guess that's a reasonable plan. We could even add an option to
fast-import that would allow to turn case folding back on, and make
git-p4 use it, so that its expectations are fulfilled. Although at some
point, it could (should?) do case folding itself(?)
