It is completely legitimate these days to call git add with absolute paths. Of course, on a case-insensitive file system, users rightfully expect the argument to be handled case-insensitively, too. This patch makes it so.

Git for Windows carried this patch for over one and a half years already, I think it is time to get it into git.git.
