Suppose I have two directories:

/u/info/General_Info
/u/info/General_info

Then, if completion-ignore-case is set, this completes to General_info.
I think it would more useful if it stopped after the _, since here case
is the *only* way in which the names differ.

Failing that, perhaps whether Emacs folds the names to lowercase or
uppercase should be controllable from Lisp.  (In fact, the behavior
changed between 18.52 and 18.59, which isn't exactly a bug, since which
one you get is undefined, as far as I can tell, but it was still a
user-visible surprise.)
