What's in git.git (stable)

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

The largest change to 'master' in this round is Linus's case insensitivity
changes.  I wanted to get feedback and fixes (if needed) from case
insensitive folks while the topic was still in 'next', but it did not
happen, but this should at least not harm sane filesystems, so let's see
how it goes.
