[PATCH]Why do we store svn config section options in a case insensitive way?

Hi All,
I have seen one of our client trying to set 'svn:eol-style' to 'native'
for all 'makefile', 'Makefile' and all possible variants using autoprops.
It does not work in svn currently.

<snip>
$cat ~/.subversion/config
[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes

[auto-props]
makefile* = svn:eol-style=native
Makefile* = svn:eol-style=native

WC$svn add Makefile
#This does not set the property 'svn:eol-style' on 'Makefile'.

WC$svn add makefile
#This does set the property 'svn:eol-style' on 'makefile'.

In essence autoprops for patterns differing only in case breaks all the
autoprops setting except the first one in the definition. Here autoprops
is active only for 'makefile*' not 'Makefile*'.
</snip>

I tried '[mM][aA][kK][eE][fF][iI][lL][eE] = svn:eol-style=native' inside
the autoprops section, but it got confused to be a different section due
to preceding '['.

I have a patch which fixes the problem by populating the
section->options in a case sensitive keys. Find it attached.

Ran 'make check', it went well.

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran

[[[
SVN config section option names are treated in a case insensitive way. This
breaks autoprops setting on a patterns which differs only in case.

<snip>
$cat ~/.subversion/config
[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes

[auto-props]
makefile* = svn:eol-style=native
Makefile* = svn:eol-style=native
</snip>

Only files matching 'makefile*' are getting autoprops set as it is defined first.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/config.c
  (svn_config_set): Keep the key of 'sec->options' to be 'opt->name'(as given
   in the config file) rather than 'opt->hash_key'(normalized lower case).
