The problem is that by changing the order from archive/branch to
branch/archive in the {arch} patch-logs you introduced a global naming
problem where:
- Mr Foo says "oh, I'll always fully capitalize my
categories so there's no issue with case-insensitivity".
- Mr Bar says "oh, I'll never capitalize my
categories so there's no issue with case-insensitivity".
- and poor user X, who is also very careful about case-insensitivity,
tries to merge patches from both Mr Foo and Mr Bar.
As long as the archive/branch ordering is used consistently everywhere the
case-sensitivity issue can be solved locally, but by mixing the two you
introduced a global constraint.
