Multiple files with the same name but different capitalization

[Julian Payne]

Dear CVS Team,

 

We are experiencing problems with CVS 1.11.6 (we upgraded from 1.11.2)

due to the following situation:

 

css/

    IlvCSSEngine.java      <-- HEAD

    Attic/

        IlvCSSengine.java   <-- JViews-5-5 branch

 

When using CVS 1.11.2 we were able to check out the

head and get IlvCSSEngine.java and when we check

out in the branch JViews-5-5 we get the file

IlvCSSengine.java

 

With CVS 1.11.6 this is completly broken and the

server is completely lost as to what revisions and

tags exist for the 2 files and the files are no longer

usable (the server says that they do not exist in

the version and so deletes them from your local

directory).

 

Can someone confirm that this no longer works?

 

How we will be able to maintain our old repository

which contains the old versions of our product that

we need to be able to checkout in order to build

patches etc?

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

 

Julian Payne
