All names should be lowercase. HP is upper case because there was a file hp in this directory before. CVS doesn't allow you to create a directory with the same name as a previously deleted file. The reason seems to be that in CVS directories have no version number. > > > Would it be possible to fix this issue on the repository side?

Unfortunately when you check out an older version it will not build because it does not find the file hp.
