Problem to solve

When creating a protected branch rule (/settings/repository) selecting branches by wildcard is case sensitive. This behavior may not be desirable in some situations.

Since there is an option of having the same branch name with different cases, you would like to have an option to protect any combination. When patterns are case insensitive, the only option would be to create every variation of that branch name, which makes it almost impossible for longer patterns. Only for 3 letter patters you already have 8 options - dev*, DEV*, Dev*, dEv*, deV*, DEv*, dEV*, DeV*.

Proposed solution

Provide the ability to turn case sensitivity on/off for wildcard matching when creating protected branch rules.
