With this patch series, you are either on a case sensitive file system
(core.ignorecase = false) or a case insensitive file system
(core.ignorecase = true).
There is no specific configuration for .gitignore case insensitivity.
It only pays attention to core.ignorecase.
This is something that could be added, but I don't fully understand the
need. On case sensitive file systems, the case of the resultant
filename is guaranteed. If you have both a Debug/ and debug/ directory,
I would expect two entries in the .gitignore.
