Re: [PATCH v2 0/6] Extensions of core.ignorecase=true support

So I could we please separate the behaviors that change intent
(folding) from the behaviors that merely alter how things are
displayed (listing) by splitting this into two separate properties?
For example,

core.casepreserving=true|false
core.caseinsensitive=true|false

The former property would control folding, the latter property would
apply to listing and pattern matching. Then people could opt out of
the folding behaviors (add, import), while continuing to adopt listing
and pattern matching (status, ls, ignore).

core.ignorecase has a very well-defined meaning: It describes whether the 
worktree lives on a filesystem that is case-insensitive. Perhaps you could 
help me understand your case if you gave examples and a use-case? I have a 
slight suspicion that your wish is orthogonal to core.ignorecase.
