Are you volunteering to maintain this code? I'm getting sick of it. :)
Seriously, case-philosophies aside, we could remove the handling from CVS and anyone sharing your beliefs could still install a case-insensitive file system on a UNIX server and put their CVS repository there to get the behaviour you want.
As it stands, Windows users will only get the behavior you prefer _sometimes_, since as long as the repository exists on a case sensitive file system, files with "conflicting case" can still exist in the repository.
I don't think the overhead for such a small gain, the worth of which is completely dependant on personal case-philosophy, and which system administrators can configure according to their own personal case-philosophy, is worth it.
