[PATCH v2 4/6] Add case insensitivity support when using git ls-files

From

When mydir/filea.txt is added, mydir/ is renamed to MyDir/, and MyDir/fileb.txt is added, running git ls-files mydir only shows mydir/filea.txt. Running git ls-files MyDir shows MyDir/fileb.txt. Running git ls-files mYdIR shows nothing.

With this patch running git ls-files for mydir, MyDir, and mYdIR shows mydir/filea.txt and MyDir/fileb.txt.

Wildcards are not handled case insensitively in this patch. Example: MyDir/aBc/file.txt is added. git ls-files MyDir/a* works fine, but git ls-files mydir/a* does not.
