It is completely legitimate these days to call git add with absolute paths. Of course, on a case-insensitive file system, users rightfully expect the argument to be handled case-insensitively, too. This patch makes it so. Git for Windows carried this patch for over one and a half years already, I think it is time to get it into git.git. Changes since v3: * Fixed the oneline (it talked about core.fileMode when it really wanted to talk about core.ignoreCase!). Change since v2: * Replaced MINGW prerequisite in the test by CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS. v1 was sent out without a change by mistake. Sorry.
