Overview:
I have two gif's in CVS. I check out into a directory
and want to swap their names:
$ cvs co stuff
....
U stuff/thisismyimagefor_on.gif
U stuff/thisismyimagefor_off.gif
$ cd stuff
$ move thisismyimagefor_on.gif thisismyimagefor_off_new.gif
$ move thisismyimagefor_off.gif thisismyimagefor_on.gif
$ move thisismyimagefor_off_new.gif thisismyimagefor_off.gif
Problem:
When I do a cvs update or commit, nothing is identified
as modified:
$ cvs update
$
I think that this is a problem with 8.3 names and the CVS client
not correctly using the right file name. On windows, the long
file name is mapped to an 8.3 name, something like: thisis~1.gif for
this..._on.gif
When I move it, the 8.3 name stays the same. So, when I swap the
file names, their 8.3 names stay the same but the long file names
are different.
If I copy the file to temporary file names, generating a new 8.3,
everything works.
Anyone have these problems before? Is this a windows cvs client
bug?
Thanks.
