Interesting, though not applicable in my case. There are no additional files in this directory, generated, backup or otherwise.
There's a rename-case-sensitivity in the bug list already, hopefully it will be addressed soon. -----Original Message----- From: Jim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 2:45 AM To: Matt Bishop; CVS-II Discussion Mailing List Subject: Re: "move away file.java" Move away errors - commonly occur under windows file systems because many editors lose the case of the file. A file which is all upper case or all lower case appears to be lower case, but in actuality is upper cased. A file with mixed case will appear correctly. I have run into this MANY times after editing with lame editors that saved files as all upper case. I use FAR by (www.rarsoft.com) and it displays the actual case of files... not sure how to do this otherwise... but you can try just doing a 'rename file.java file.java' which will fix the case ( unless it was actually in upper case when you checked it in - have to check CVS/Entries to see what it actually wants ) So - although windows uses long file names and allows cases - for backwards compatibility it assumes all upper case is lower case, and forgets to tell anyone - but apparently the test within CVS even on windows is case sensitive.
