[PATCH v2 01/10] string-list: allow case-insensitive string list

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
Jan 8, 2013, 00:10 UTC
Message-ID
<1357603821-8647-2-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<1357603821-8647-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com>

Some string list needs to be searched case insensitively, and for that to work correctly, the string needs to be sorted case insensitively from the beginning.

Allow a custom comparison function to be defined on a string list instance and use it throughout in place of strcmp().
