Hello, You should never manipulate the repository directly. Here is how to rename a file so that history is preserved ( in your CVS checkout ) : mv ABC.txt abc.txt cvs rm ABC.txt cvs add abc.txt cvs commit -m "renamed ABC.txt to abc.txt" ABC.txt abc.txt This way, anyone looking at the history for this file will clearly see that it was renamed, and can look at the ABC.txt in the Attic if they need to. If you do the rename directly in the repository, the information on when, why and by who it was renamed is lost.
