I got a similar situation when I tried to copy files from Windows to a locally mounted Unix "drive" (via ASU). All file names were converted to lower case by ASU - the same situation with Samba on a Linux server however worked fine. So if you use (Win)CVS to access a Unix repository via local mode in such an environment you may get the same problems with CVS as I got with simply copying files. You may consider to use one of the client/server modes instead. At least with pserver I didn't get such problems. Best regards Martin
WinCVS case problem
Hello! I am using WinCVS 11b4 I have the following problem: when a file is created with a mixed-case (upper/lower) name, e.g. BuildFlow.html After I add it to cvs and commit, in the repository I see the file buildflow.html Therefore, this is a conflict (because windows ignores case), and I can not update. On the other hand, the file appears as not in CVS. Did someone else encounter a similiar behaviour? Anyway, it would be helpful if WinCVS would recognise this problem (when new and old file names are identical except for the problem) and either try to handle it somehow, or give a meaningful message.

RE: WinCVS case problem
There is at least one exception to case preservation, if you explicitly add the file: myFile.txt with the command cvs add myfile.txt When I then delete the mixed case file and then do an update, I get myfile.txt Then the file will be added to cvs as myfile.txt. It seems that the command line case overrides the file's case. Found this in 1.10.8 command line, and may be related to specific adds in wincvs, haven't tested it. -Chris -Original Message- From: Alexandre Parenteau [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2000 10:24 AM To: Michael S.
