However, on a case insensitive file system (e.g. macOS/Windows) they appear to be case insensitive (`*.bar` would match `foo.bar` and `foo.BAR`). That works great until a Git users joins the party with a case sensitive file system. For this Git user the attributes pattern only matches files with the exact case (*.bar` would match only `foo.bar`). Question/Proposal: Could we introduce some flag to signal that certain attribute patterns are always case insensitive?
