Thanks, but the main issue is that this is a very large repository
with tens of thousands of paths (files and directories).

git ls-files thus takes a long time, almost a second. Since this is a
commit-heavy repo, I'd rather avoid that overhead.

Incidentally, there's an SVN hook that does the exact same thing that
I want to do:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/case-insensitive.py
