shopt -s nocaseglob

This shell builtin command ignores case for wildcard matching within the
filesystem names.  Therefore if set and I have a file Foobar and a file
foobar2, then when I do `ls f*' I see both Foobar and foobar2 listed. 
If not set the I would only see foobar2 listed.

set completion-ignore-case on

This is an option to control the readline library.  The readline library
is what reads the .inputrc file.  The readline library is also where
command line completion happens.  This option tells readline to complete
the filenames regardless of case.  This is completely unrelated to
globbing.

Earnie.
