Git - Azure DevOps UI - Feature Branch Name Case Sensitive

Question

This is my current feature branch naming convention -

Feature/<UniqueId>-<ShortDescription> 
or
Feature/<ShortDescription>

If we create the new branch from Azure DevOps UI then because branch names are case sensitive - I may end up having branches something like this -

Feature
   feature1
   feature2
feature
   feature3

When we create branches using Git commands and Visual Studio Team Explorer - in both these, it works just fine by treating branch names as case insensitive. It's only with Azure DevOps UI that it treats 'Feature' and 'feature' as different.

So, I tried using tf permission commands .

It works fine for branch folder - so I can enforce branches to be created under a specific folder - which is "Feature" in my case.

However I realised that I have no control over branches being created as -

Feature
   feature1
   Feature1
   feature2

Anyone can please guide how can I create case insensitive branch names using Azure Devops UI.

Thanks a lot!
