Hello all, not sure if the issue I've come across is a known bug or
addressable, but wanted to report it just in-case.
** Summary
------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the [includeIf] configuration statement with a symlink'd gitdir
will not work if the symlink is on a case insensitive volume and the
location it references is on a case sensitive volume.
** Steps to reproduce
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create symlink (case insensitive -> case sensitive):
/Users/usera/dev -> /Volumes/CaseSensitive/dev
2. Create two files: .gitignore and .gitignore-work, both stored in
/Users/usera/
.gitconfig
-------------
[user]
name = First Last
[includeIf "gitdir:~/dev/work"]
path = .gitconfig-work
.gitconfig-work
--------------------
[user]
email = email@address.com
3. cd into a subfolder of ~/dev/work that has been git initialized.
Let's say ~/dev/work/repo
4. Run git config --includes user.email
5. See that nothing is output from the command
6. Update the [includeIf] statement in .gitconfig to be the real
location i.e. "gitdir:/Volumes/CaseSensitive/dev/work/repo"
7. Rerun the command from [4]
8. See that email@address.com is output from the command
** Other variations that were not tested
------------------------------------------------------------------
- symlink on case sensitive volume referencing a location on a case
insensitive volume
** Environment Information
------------------------------------------------------------------
git --version: 2.14.1
OS: macOS Sierra 10.12.6
If a fix is not feasible or likely to be implemented, I would
recommend that we update the git site's documentation to reflect this
gotcha. After verification of course.
Best,
Adrian Kappel

Didn't you set it up pointing do the real location ?
That is what is written above:

(I suspect that people use something like this:
/Users/usera/dev -> /Volumes/casesensitive/dev
And in this case it would be the file system which says
casesensitive != CaseSensitive and Git can't do much about it)
