Version: 26.2

In an effort to reduce the number of distropatches in Debian, specifically

https://sources.debian.org/patches/emacs/1:26.1+1-1/0008-Don-t-downcase-real-xref-in-elisp-mode-tests.patch/

Date:   Tue Dec 18 21:18:31 2018 -0500

    Restrict downcasing in elisp xref tests (bug#25534)
    
    The tests happen to not fail at the moment because find-library-name
    now has an extra feature, find-library--from-load-history, which
    happens to do a case-insensitive regexp match; but still it seems
    better not to rely on this.
    
    * test/lisp/progmodes/elisp-mode-tests.el (xref--case-insensitive):
    New variable.
    (xref-elisp-test-run, emacs-test-dir): Only downcase if the
    filesystem seems to be case-insensitive.

The xref tests fail on case sensitive filesystems if the source directory
is not all lower case.

For example, if I have Emacs checked out in /home/wilfred/src/EMACS, I get
the following test failure:

Test xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defalias-defun-el condition:
    (error "Can't find library /home/wilfred/src/emacs/lisp/buff-menu.el")
   FAILED  12/36  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defalias-defun-el

Note that the path is incorrectly converted from ~/src/EMACS to
~/src/emacs, which doesn't exist.

This causes the following tests to fail:

   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-constructor
   FAILED  xref-elisp-test-find-defs-defalias-defun-el
