Fix issue #4361 (user/group names in authz files are case-insensitive).
+Because of the way the original svn_config structure was designed to be
+case-preserving but case-insensitive, when using it to parse authz
+and group definition files, we had the following problems:
+
+ * User- and group names that differed only in case could not be
+ represented in the authorization configuration.
+ * The results returned from authorization queries depended,
+ although predictably, on the order in which the authz entries
+ appeared in the authz file.
+
+In 1.7.0, we added an option to svn_config to make configuration groups
+(hence, repiository paths in the authz config) case-sensitive. This change
+does the same for option names, which map to group and user names.
+
+
* subversion/include/svn_config.h
(svn_config_create2): New, revised from svn_config_create, with additional
flag to treat option names as case-sensitive.
