I'm not sure what you mean....

As I understand it (it's been a fairly long time since I've used the
more primitive versions of windows), the "short name" chosen for a long
name is explicitly chosen to ensure it doesn't clash with any other
short names.  E.g., for the file "remember-diary.el", it might choose
"rememb~1.el" as a short name.

It sounds like either Martin has support for long names turned off, or
cvs.exe was built in some bad way.
