Branch Name Case Sensitivity

Hello,

Last week I ran across a potential bug with branch names on case insensitive file systems, the complete scenario can be found here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/msysgit/ugKL-sVMiqI

The tldr is because refs are stored as plain text files except when packed into packed-refs, Git occasionally cannot tell the difference between branches whose names only differ in case, and this could potentially lead to the loss of history.

It sounds like this is a known issue, and after some more digging I did find some older threads related to this topic, but nothing recent. So I guess I just wanted to bring this to the attention of the Git devs and maybe restart some discussions.

Thanks, -Lee
