Hi,

the "url.<someURL>.insteadOf" git config is case sensitive. I understand that 
this makes sense on case sensitive file systems. However, URLs are mostly case 
insensitive:

Consider this:
git clone https://GIThub.com/GIT/GIT
git clone https://github.com/git/git

Both commands will clone the same repository.

Interestingly enough this works, too:
git clone g...@github.com:GIT/GIT

What do you think about a flag that makes these rewrites case insensitive? E.g. 
with the following config flag:

[url "<actual url base>"]
        insteadOf = <other url base>
        ignorecase = true

Thanks,
Lars
