You are right but as I mentioned in my posting I am using "core.ignorecase=true"
so I expected "file.txt" and "File.txt" to be treated the same.
The man-page for git-config says:
"core.ignorecase
If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive, like FAT.
For example, if a directory listing finds "makefile" when git expects "Makefile", git will assume it is really the same file,
and continue to remember it as "Makefile"."
So "various workarounds" does _not_ mean that _all_ filenames are processed modulo upper/lower case, or?
