Re: fast-import should not care about core.ignorecase

Hi,

As you now know, I'm working on a mercurial remote helper for git. As
such, it uses fast-import.

In the mercurial history of mozilla-central, there have been various
renames of files with only case changes, and it so happens that my
remote helper blows things up on case insensitive file systems. The
reason is git clone probing the file system and setting core.ignorecase
appropriately.

While it makes sense for checkouts and local commits, it doesn't make
sense to me that using git fast-import with the same import script would
have a different behavior depending on whether the file system is
case-sensitive or not.

Heh, I just found this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=139134708700001&r=1&w=2

It doesn't seem to have led to something actually being committed,
though.
