Is anything else then git-p4 known to rely on case folding? If not, I guess that's a reasonable plan. We could even add an option to fast-import that would allow to turn case folding back on, and make git-p4 use it, so that its expectations are fulfilled. Although at some point, it could (should?) do case folding itself(?)
