I do not think this matters. Or at least, it should not matter. As Peff said in the nearby message, core.ignorecase is completely about the _filesystem_, and that git should generally be case-sensitive internally. And fast-import is about reading internal representation of paths and data to populate the repository, without having to guess what pathnames were meant to be used---the guess is only needed if we need to consult the filesystem that loses case information. The change made by 50906e04 (Support case folding in git fast-import when core.ignorecase=true, 2010-10-03) should probably be half reverted by making the case-squashing an optional feature, that could be used even on a system with case sensitive filesystems. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
