To be more specific: this causes a failure in next on case-insensitive HFS+.  The commit that finally triggered the problem is 7ec344d: "filter-branch: retire --remap-to-ancestor", by using `git reset --hard A` which got confused on if 'A' was 'refs/branches/A' or './a'

However, the patch applies to master or maint.
