I don't think this distinction is necessary, either you have a case-insensitive 
file system or you don't. The case that the .git directory is case-sensitive 
and the worktree directory isn't (or the other way around) is probably so 
exotic that we can ignore it.

If you want to prevent problems with Windows/Mac OS, you should set 
core.ignorecase = true. I don't see why we need yet another config setting for 
refs (and logs?).
