:-) Right, and careless application of find (not excluding _darcs) got me into trouble, although may not other people. > If someone on OS A is allowed to check in a file with a name that won't > work on OS B, then people on OS B are in trouble, no matter what darcs > does to pristine. Or am I missing something? Perhaps one thing: it looks like even before darcs 1.0 (so way back in 2003), darcs add has refused to add files that would cause a case-sensitivity problem. Users can override this explicitly with the --case-ok switch. The GHC repository and libraries are imported from CVS likely using a third party tool (Tailor?). I'm not sure how Tailor deals with this situation. Does it just use --case-ok? Comments, Lele? Unfortunately, it does not yet detect Windows reserved device names (like com1), but this is planned for our next release. -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
