If a repo is cloned into a case-insensitive directory, then core.ignorecase should be enabled automatically. If a repo is cloned into a case-sensitive directory, then core.ignorecase should not be enabled automatically. I searched through relevant issues on the Git for Windows repo on GitHub, and I found nothing to indicate that a capability to automatically enable NTFS case sensitivity has been added. I searched through the source of Git and Git for Windows, and I didn't find any references to WinAPI SetFileInformationByHandle: FileCaseSensitiveInfo or NTAPI NtSetInformationFile: FileCaseSensitiveInformation, nor the use of fsutil file setCaseSensitiveInfo. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
