Ok, thanks. Yes I'd like you to merge it for 3.2, but only after
we've agreed on the change.

I know they're different things, and are set in different places.
I'm not objecting to fs_capabilities being added to the connection
struct, indeed it is a useful addition. What I mean is everywhere
we currently change behavior depending on case insensitivity we
should be checking both the fs_capabilities flags and the case_sensitive
bool and should be doing the same thing for both. The *behavior*
should be identical. That's what I meant with my macro below.

Thanks. Any chance you can update the patch including it
for review ?

Jeremy.
