We do not allow paths with a ".git" component to be added to the index, as that would mean repository contents could overwrite our repository files. However, asking "is this path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some filesystems. HFS+'s case-folding does more than just fold uppercase into lowercase (which we already handle with strcasecmp). It may also skip past certain "ignored" Unicode code points, so that (for example) ".gi\u200ct" is mapped ot ".git". The full list of folds can be found in the tables at: https://www.opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/bsd/hfs/hfscommon/Unicode/UCStringCompareData.h Implementing a full "is this path the same as that path" comparison would require us importing the whole set of tables. However, what we want to do is much simpler: we only care about checking ".git". We know that 'G' is the only thing that folds to 'g', and so on, so we really only need to deal with the set of ignored code points, which is much smaller.
