Do I read this correctly? You try to darcs mv something where you specify a directory (gsom) in lower case, but you get an error message that reports the directory name with the initial letter in upper case (Gsom)? > although the file is there, as a 'darcs show files' shows: > > darcs show files > . > ./gsom.cabal > ./Setup.lhs > ./LICENSE > ./gsom > ./gsom/node.hs > ./gsom/lattice.hs > ./gsom/input.hs > ./tests.hs > ./TODO > ./gsom.hs > ./README > > I have to say that I got a similar error earlier as I was trying to > 'darcs add gsom/node.hs' where darcs complained that it wasn't > allowed to create the directory Gsom since there was already > a directory gsom. > I was able to correct both the errors by simply pulling into a > fresh repository.

Darcs have had, and possibly still has, some issues with case-sensitive file systems. An example of an unresolved issue related to case-insensitive file systems is http://bugs.darcs.net/issue253 You may wish to take a look at this issue and, perhaps, other issues related to the use of case-insensitive file systems: I get 21 issues as a result when using "case-insensitive" as a search string: http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?%40columns=id%2Cactivity%2Ctitle%2Ccreator%2Cassignedto%2Cstatus&%40sort=activity&%40group=priority&%40search_text=case-insensitive&submit=Search And then you may wish to report a new issue for your case. > and the darcs version is the one from > MacPorts i.e. 2.1.2 (release). > ...
