You could try VFAT (Win95 style long filenames). It's still a bit fishy but since you're talking about working directories, not the repository, at worst your own working copy will be broken. You could have trouble if Windows and Linux have a different idea of file line endings - you'd probably need to use the Cygwin CVS client or another that won't insert carriage returns when checking out text files on Windows. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
