Well, naively speaking (I have no idea how case _in_sensitivity is
actually implemented in Git, and I don't even have any sane way how to
test it :), what would happen if you just rename 'foo' to 'Foo' _only_
in the index? I think that's preciselly what the OP wants and shouldn't
erally break anything and should also be pretty simple to implement (the
question is if documentation, cluttery and bitrot costs of this change
would pay off for the feature).
