And mailmap is there precisely to handle such problems. Now, if these case issues were for some reasons very frequent, it might be worth adding dedicated support for it. But this seems dubious to me -- do you have any evidence for this? Indeed, do you have more than just the one example? I don't have another example, but i have seen it many times. This happens when people use different repo's to send patches and by mistake have mentioned names in different case in them in their local .git/config files. -- viresh
