Hmmm... that is strange.  Git accepts '-' (though it is discouraged)
but not '_' in config key names.

With the caveat that included patch must be applied first,
see below.

Key names are case insensitive...

...but git_get_project_config didn't respect that.  With above, and
without included patch, gitweb would get from "git config --list -z"
'gitweb.remoteheads' (turned lowercase), but as it is written here
it would check if 'gitweb.remoreHeads' key exists... so it would
never match.

Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Make git config search case insensitive

Gitweb does not (yet?) use git config variables with subsection, so we
can simply lowercase $key in git_get_project_config: section name and
key name are case insensitive (only subsection name is case
sensitive).
