If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
like FAT. For example, if a directory listing finds
"makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
"Makefile".

The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
is created.

Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
core.precomposeUnicode::
This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
