Re: git cvsimport and case-insensitive config

That was the idea I wrote in an earlier draft of my response that I later scrapped. I started with "cvsimport.a? If it is 'true' then that is -a; if it names an existing file, then it is -A." I continued the draft up to '-p' vs '-P' (the former would begin with a hyphen, the latter likely wouldn't). But I don't think you can reliably guess -s/-S (both strings).

A bigger reason is that, if you have _any_ combination that you cannot reliably guess, you would either need the user to ask for help, or you need to convert by reading the configuration file case-sensitively yourself to come up with a reliable conversion. I opted for the latter.
