In this case: not sure what is going on. In a git-shell on Windows:
If caseSensitiveInfo is disabled:
user at host MINGW64 ~/K
$ fsutil file queryCaseSensitiveInfo .
Das Attribut für Groß-/Kleinschreibung für das Verzeichnis
"C:\Users\user\K" ist deaktiviert.

$ git config --global -l
core.ignorecase=true

$ git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git
Cloning into 'cpython'...

$ find . -type d -exec fsutil.exe file queryCaseSensitiveInfo {} \;
does not show any directory having caseSensitiveInfo enabled.

If caseSesitiveInfo is enabled:
user at host MINGW64 ~/K
$ fsutil file queryCaseSensitiveInfo .
Das Attribut für Groß-/Kleinschreibung für das Verzeichnis
"C:\Users\user\K" ist aktiviert.

$ git config --global -l
core.ignorecase=true

$ git clone https://github.com/python/cpython.git
Cloning into 'cpython'...

All directories created by git have caseSensitiveInfo enabled.

core.ignorecase is not regarded in any way. It does not mater if it is 
set or not.
