Here are some possibilities (*not* tested):
1. cvs commit ./-filename.txt
Forward slash to hopefully keep CVS happy
2. cvs commit .\-filename.txt
Backslash to hopefully keep Windows happy
3. Same as (1), but do it on a UNIX box
4. Same as (1), but do it on the CVS server itself, in a local
(i.e. non-client-server) sandbox
If all else fails, and if you don't need the file's revision
history (but think twice about this!):
5. Just go into the repo and "rm ./-filename.txt,v" (I know the
"./" will keep rm happy; that variant I *have*, umm, tested, on
a number of occasions :-)

A distributed system is one on which I cannot get any work done,
because a machine I have never heard of has crashed.
