I am with Daniel on this.
It is perfectly fine to consider these two equivalent.
git clone https://github.com/git/git (canonical one)
git clone https://GitHub.com/git/git (host part in funny case)
In fact, I think we should do this without any additional
configuration variable.
On the other hand, these two MUST be treated as different by
default:
git clone https://github.com/GIT/GIT (differences outside host part)
git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:GIT/GIT (differences outside host part)
Although I am OK if this is hidden behind a configuration variable,
I am not sure how much value you would be giving to the users.
In any case, I expect that additional change (on top of what is
required to make hostname part treated case insensitively) would not
be too bad, if we were going to fix the hostname part.
