It could.  In addition to the workaround we were discussing, your new description of
the problem leads me to believe that making sure to commit your remove ('cvs rm
<file>', 'cvs ci <file>') before you do the add should remove the file from the local
CVS/Entries and allow the new file to be added with the recased name.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in his shoes.  That way, if
he gets angry, he'll be a mile away - and barefoot.
