What a ridiculous comment. Aside from this little problem, you can check out any any tagged release of XFree86 over the last 9 years. That you can do this is not an accident. (Versions before this were in a different respository.) This problem happened by going beyond CVS's limits. CVS works just fine (and predictably) providing its limits are understood and worked within. I'm not aware of a sufficiently free alternative that meets this minimum requirement. >Yes, but what's the alternate solution?

In this case I think XKB is flexible enough to allow the issue to be avoided. I'm going to see if I can change our 'cvs' so that it won't allow the changed-case "solution".
