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/

I have applied the following:

commit 4c6c327
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.
