Hi // I'm looking for some guidance on case-sensitivity with CVS. I have a file, call it "Filename.java", which should be renamed to "filename.java" in order to fit a naming convention and not break some other code. The "Filename.java" version is checked into cvs. I cannot find any way to get the lowercase version of the same file committed. I've tried removing, then adding the file under another name, but at the end of this process the version in the repository still has the uppercase name. I've tried a bit of repository hacking, but nothing useful. The problem seems to be that the local cvs client cannot tell the difference between the two files, and the version in Entries remains uppercase. This is really frustrating ....
The cvs clients I've tried are all running under Windows, which is undoubtedly where some of the problem comes from, given its problems with case-insensitive filenames. I've tried both the CLI version of cvs distributed with cygwin (running under a command prompt and also in a bash shell) and also WinCVS. Is there anything I can do in the repository itself (running on a HP/UX server) to change the name of this file directly? Or some clever Entries or repository hacking that would do the trick?
