And then we have this in name-hash.c:
(Which may explain the "icase" suffix ?)
static int same_name(const struct cache_entry *ce, const char *name, int namelen, int icase)
As this file-scope static function takes the "icase" as an explicit
argument, I do not see anything confusing about it. My complaint
was it is confusing that str[n]cmp_icase is not always icase, even
though the name of the function implies that it would be to those
who haven't looked at its implementation for a while.
