Git has a config variable to indicate that it is operating on a file
system that is case-insensitive: core.ignoreCase. But the
`dir_inside_of()` function did not respect that. As a result, if Git's
idea of the current working directory disagreed in its upper/lower case
with the `GIT_WORK_TREE` variable (e.g. `C:\test` vs `c:\test`) the
user would be greeted by the error message

        fatal: git-am cannot be used without a working tree.

when trying to run a rebase.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/402 (reported by
Daniel Harding).
